From the perspective of the Celtics, they successfully avoided taxes by giving away two players in a row. The Green Army, which was originally a super luxury tax of $1.3 million, made a profit of $10 million after giving away the two players with a total salary of $4.1 million, including luxury tax dividends.
Itowan Moore.
From the perspective of the Magic, Bohr, who made a comeback in just one round, became the representative of the fastest improving player of the season, averaging 12.4 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks per game.
However, this transaction hides an insignificant detail: in order to close the deal, the Magic cut off 31 year old McCarthy and 33 year old Itowan Moore, and the two disappeared from the NBA's view.
A year later, upon reexamining this transaction, the biggest profit was actually made by Itowan Moore, who had lost his job in the NBA. He made an investment the day after leaving the NBA and earned more money than he had spent his entire life playing basketball in the NBA.
Moore flew to save the ball on the NBA court.
Underclass petty figures
For some reason, Itowan Moore always thinks about what to do with his life after leaving basketball.
The earliest thought that came to mind was when Moore played in the NBA for six seasons. At that time, Moore was 28 years old and at the peak of his career, he also signed a four-year, $34 million contract with the Pelicans.
As the 55th ranked player in the 2011 draft, receiving such a contract can be considered a comeback for a minor player. After all, among the players selected in the same season, 27 players did not play in the NBA for a full 6 years, but Moore still couldn't help but think about what he would look like after leaving the field.
Before this, from the streets of Chicago to Purdue University's ace, and now to the NBA, Moore's life was packed with basketball, and he only had one question to think about: "My mind is full of basketball, how can I play a role on the basketball court?"
But during that season in New Orleans, Moore suddenly realized the topic that an NBA player would face sooner or later - that his basketball career would eventually come to an end.
Similar thoughts often occur around Moore, as his family asks him what to do after his NBA career ends, reminding him to take care of the money he earns.
Moore once signed a 4-year, $34 million contract with the Pelicans.
Moore's foresight is not without reason. After his four-year contract with the Pelicans ended, Moore's NBA career took a sharp turn. He first signed a base salary with the Suns, and then signed a base salary with the Magic a year later. So Moore's NBA resume includes five teams: the Celtics, Magic, Bulls, Pelicans, and Suns.
