From what’s been posted of the contract, it seems like a terrible deal for the firm. I don’t see how they would stay afloat unless they’re extremely discerning when picking athletes.
The maximum they can make back is a 14% return rate for 7 years. The firm is literally better off putting the money in an index fund instead of investing in these kids.
Kendrick Perkins fucking sucks. But the terms of this contract are generous for the player.
