Is this negotiable when signing a contract with a team? Or is there something in CBA that claims players get X amount and its non-negotiable?
How much more money could Zion make by forcing his way out of New Orleans and getting to a large market team?
Would it be maybe a couple of million or are we talking 10's of millions?
Pretty sure all revenue that the team sells individually is made by the team. Stuff sold by the NBA is compiled and divvied up equally amongst the 30 teams.
Players don't see that money directly. BUT since the cap is based on the amount of total revenue generated from the league, all player's contracts get directly influenced by jersey/merch sales. This way we don't see Lebron getting paid $700 mil (though he really does through sponsorships) while Furkan Korkmaz only gets 3 mil.
The incentive for Zion to play in NYK comes largely through name recognition and potential sponsorships since those aren't subjugated by the CBA. That's where he'd make infinitely more since NYK's commerciality dwarfs New Orleans.
