Do it for one of Giannis’ favorites Horst



Tony Snell needs to sign with an NBA team by Friday in order to compile a 10th year of service for the players association’s retiree benefits program, per
@YahooSports

This plan is crucial for his family, including two sons with autism. “It’s something I truly need,” says Snell, highlighting its importance for his family’s wellbeing

    Out of curiosity, would a 10 day contract satisfy this requirement?

    Sign him I’m sure he can play better defense than Pat

    Look, I think retirement benefits are something that would be greatly useful for him. However I have a really hard time any professional athlete says “this plan is crucial for my family” or something to that effect. Snell has earned over $56 MILLION pre tax. You should be able to live multiple lifetimes with that kind of earnings throughout his career…

    I want the best for Tony Snell but he’s $53mill over his career. After Tax it’s probably around $27million. Didn’t Obama make it so Insurance companies can’t decline someone with a pre-existing condition?

    He’d be looking likely at around $1500/mo for health insurance for the family. Hopefully he wasn’t completely wreckless with all that money when he has a family with health issues to worry about.

    Bucks are way over the cap space and whatever we paid him it would cost us x3 to do it. He was drafted by the Chicago Bulls and spent the same number of seasons with them as the Bucks.

    Payroll for ’23-’24 Season:

    Bucks 190Mill or $53million over the cap

    Bulls $165Mill or $29million over the cap

    Pistons $133Mill or $2.5million UNDER the cap.

    Now Tony Snell did play a season with the Pistons and they are actually UNDER the cap $2.5 Million. They are the only team RN that could sign him without any kind of penalty. Their season has been Donzo for over a month already maybe signing Tony Snell would be a feel good story they badly need and bring out some fans to see how he does to root for the guy?

    Detroit is honestly his only chance.

    Kinda just put this in here as a joke and shout out to a former fan favorite. But I really don’t think the answer is “screw that guy who made a bunch of money for wanting insurance for his family” when really this is a point to how broken American health care is and maybe the union shouldn’t require a ten year career (more than twice the length of the average career) before insurance covers your family in retirement. Billionaires are the problem, not millionaire Tony Snell.

    I could see mark cuban making the move, if they have the roster space. Idk here. Games played versus years of employment etc

    I doubt it. There’s so many former NBA players worse off than him that aren’t getting a Charity spot.
