Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Three Lakers players just DOUBLED their salaries from $559K to $1.09M.

Colin Castleton – $559k ➡️ $1.09M 

Alex Fudge – $559k ➡️ $1.09M 

D’Moi Hodge – $559k ➡️ $1.09M

After federal tax, California taxes and payroll taxes the players will take home approximately $231k.

Tonight is the last game of the NBA In-Season Tournament between Los Angeles Lakers vs Indiana Pacers. After an intense first edition, both teams are doing everything to get the trophy and the prize money.

For the elite earners, it’s barely more than pocket money but for those who are breaking out in their careers or perhaps don’t enjoy an incredibly high salary then it’s a significant sum to take home as a nice Christmas present for their families.

The total to be won by going all the way through the 2023 edition is just the small amount of $850,000 per player. That full amount will be awarded to whoever emerges victorious in the final on December 9 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

But there is one clause. Two-way players only get half as much as those on full-contracts but some of the players are completely fine with that since it’s not about the money. Across the whole roster, the winning side will take home a grand total of $7,500,000 if they’re all fully contracted players.
