Goodbye NBA! Buy out directly! The highest salary of European basketball is born

On July 17, the Israeli Tel Aviv Hapur team officially announced that it had officially signed Vasirie Misic. According to Israeli journalist Nadav Zenziper, the contract is 18 million euros (about 20.914 million US dollars). Misic's annual salary is 6 million euros, becoming the highest salary in European basketball history.

Previously, Nunn (13.5 million euros in 3 years), with an average annual salary of 4.5 million euros. Misic not only broke Nunn's record, but also improved a lot. It is estimated that it will be difficult for anyone to refresh it in the short term! In addition, Panasinacos offered Valan a three-year offer of 12 million euros, but unfortunately he failed to poach.

European teams have been crazy in the past two years, poaching many rotation players who can play in the NBA. For comparison, the CBA foreign aid salary cap is US$4.25 million. For a team, the total salary of three or four foreign players cannot exceed US$4.25 million, with an average of more than US$1 million per foreign player. It will be difficult for the CBA to grab high-level foreign players in the future...

Back to Misic, in the draft in June this year, the Suns sent Misic, the 29th pick this year's first round, and the first round pick in 2029 to the Hornets, and the 3-for-1 trade was obtained by Mark Williams. On July 1 this year, the Hornets sent Misic to the Bucks again in exchange for Connaughton + 2 second round picks. On July 8, the Bucks officially bought out Misic.

Misic's original contract was US$23.5 million for three years, and there was US$8.1 million for one year. In order to leave the NBA, he gave up $6.1 million when he bought out. Misic has been famous in Europe for a long time and did not make it to the NBA until the summer of 2023. After two years of playing, he is not adapted to the local environment and now he is back in the European League, which is his stage.

Misic was born on January 13, 1994, and is 1.91 meters tall. He is a Serbian player. He is a fellow villager, Bogdan and others. In the 2013 U19 World Youth Championship, Misic averaged 12.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.8 steals per game, attracting the attention of NBA teams. In the 2014 draft, he was selected by 76ers in the 52nd pick.

Jokic was the No. 41 pick in 2014 and entered the NBA in 2015. Misic stayed in Europe for nearly 10 years! The NBA has no rigid requirements for the contract of the second round pick, and many second round picks may not be able to enter the NBA in their entire lives. In the 2016 draft, the Grizzlies selected Wang Zhelin with 57th pick, and he has not had a chance to enter the NBA yet. In the 2021-22 season, Jokic won the regular season MVP in the NBA again and Misic also achieved a Grand Slam in the European arena. Misic won the Turkish League, Turkish National Cup and European League championships in a single season. He averaged 18.2 points, 2.7 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game, and won the MVP of the semi-finals of the European League.

At this time, Misic's signing rights had been sent to the Thunder by 76 people. In July 2023, the Thunder signed Misic for US$23.5 million in three years. In February 2024, Misic was traded to the Hornets and sent to the Suns again in February 2025. He played a total of 101 games in the NBA, averaging 6.8 points, 1.8 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game, and a three-point shooting percentage of 31.5%.

How many other European players like Misic who are not adapted to the NBA?
