Man, figuring out old NBA contracts can be a real pain. Today, I was trying to remember the details of J.J. Barea’s contracts. That dude played for, like, forever, so you know he had a bunch of them.
I started by just trying to remember off the top of my head. I knew he was with the Mavericks for a long time, then went to Minnesota, and then back to Dallas. But the years and the money? Totally blank.
So, I hit the internet. I looked for “J.J. Barea contract history.” Finding basic info was easy. I got his birthdate (June 24, 1984, making him 39 now) and that he was a point guard.
Digging into the Details
It showed that the total amount for all of his contracts was is $46,506,458.
- 2006: I started looking into that first contract. It said he signed with the Mavericks on August 16, 2006. That was a 2-year * the pay? $1,100,174.
It wasn’t perfect, there is no mention of all of his contracts. I was trying to recall all of the information about all of them, but I’ve got just a few details.
Honestly, it’s just cool to look back at this stuff. Barea was a solid player, and it’s interesting to see how the contracts changed over the years.
