After taxes, could Jimmer be making more than Derrick Rose next year?

I thought that foreign players didn't pay taxes on their salaries. Is that just

Uncle Sam definitely taxes foreign income

Really? Even if the player resides in the foreign country? Don't think so...

Oh they do. Uncle Sam always gets his.

We're just trying to get Jimmer more money, we don't want to break laws -

I live in Canada and still file US income taxes every year. Only country that requires that.

US tax treaties only apply if you pay more taxes in the country of residence

Yes, the US taxes US residents on their global income. I've paid the IRS a large

As long as you are US Citizen you owe income taxes. If there is a treaty you may get credit for foreign taxes paid.

Baron

While the US still holds you accountable. It's a lot easier to just not pay.

Sure, if you want the IRS to seize your assets and send you to prison.

Is Jimmer's 1.8M deal for one or two years?

It's a 2 year, $3.6Mil deal.

What about state taxes?

I'm not sure about how this works exactly, but I had two friends working overseas
