pba salaries and contracts

[Gospel of Judas]

papaano ang mechanics ng contract sa pba like the trade restrictions, early bird rights and etc?

sino ang mga highest-paid players ng pba ngayon?

[kookoorookookoo]

mahirap kasi may under the table negotiations.

malayong pasok sa maximum salary cap ang SMB. katumbas na ng 2 or 3 teams yun eh.

There's no such thing as an unrestricted free agent in the PBA. When a player's contract expires, his mother team holds his rights for one year. The only way a player can leave his mother team is if his mother team grants him a release.

With respect to maximum salary, the maximum salary of a player in the PBA is P350,000 per month (P4.2M per year).

The maximum total salaries per year per team is P30M. However, there's also a league minimum salary and that's P22M which means a team's total player salary should not fall below P22M.

Unverified by news reports but verified by some posters here and in MyPBA: If a player is not on the active roster (on the injured or reserve list), the salary of a player is not counted when computing the salary cap for teams.

Which probably explains why SMB remains under the cap. By keeping their injured stars on the injured list, the salary goes down.

duremdes 500k pa din ang sweldo kasi 48million

[asero]

Current Maximum Player Salary: P350,000/Month or P4.2M per year.

Maximum Bonus: 40% of Team Salaries (P4,000 Elims, P6,000 Semis, P8,000 Finals)

[asero]

jwash is at the maximum. he is a number 1 pick so he would receive max pay on its 3rd year much like arwind, kelly, jared and gabe...pati ata si jason castro at solomon mercado maximum contracts ang nakuha

[Jay P. Mercado]

J-Wash as a third year player can only receive P337.5k as stipulated in the rookie contract drafted by the PBA Board. It states that the maximum salary of a rookie is at P100k a month on his rookie year, a maximum 50% increase on his sophomore year or P150k a month, and another maximum 50% increase on his third year in his contract, or P337.5k.

However, since he is already on his 4th year with the league (having been the top rookie pick of the 2005 draft), he may have been contracted by his former team TNT or his new team SMB to the maximum contract.

[Steady69]

James yap is the highest paid player today; under the table of course. he earns 600k a month. partly due to his commercial appeal mainly because of kris aquino obviously.

Cardona earns 500k.

Kelly williams surprisingly earns just the max of 350k despite being d best player in the pba.

I'm sure some others earn more than 350k but i can only confirm yap and cardona.

Ang sakit sa bulsa ng SMB. Tapos may Pennisi pa sila. Dapat tanggalin na nila sa lineup si Ildefonso.

so sa kanilang 3 pa lang 1.5M na agad pasahod monthly ng SLR before kaya puro walang kenta yung player nila

nung tinrade nila si KD dun lang lumuwag yung cap space nila

di ko lang sure kung 500k pa rin si aquino(di bale nang tamad di naman pagod, malaki pa sahod)

[carlo42]

^ bro si kenneth na lang ang nag susuweldo ng 500k a month. sila marlou nde na. lahat e 350k na lang kasi binabaan na ang maximum. naalala ko na may nabasa ako b4 na ang lowest salary ng isang starting five ng isang pba team e 50k, kay dong polistico. hehehehe. smb talaga ako. hehehe

[asero]

duremdes

yes you're right 350k na lang ang max ngayon. pero yung sumasahod ng 500k before eh hindi na binabaan kasi nasa contract yun, pwede na lang bumaba yung kung expired na yung contract nila

well ofcource hindi kasama jan yung under the table

[carlo42]

wala na ngang sumasahod ng 500k ***** except si duremdes, kasi mahaba contract nya. lahat e inabutan ng expiration ang bagong ruling regaring sa salary cap. buti pa si duremdes. hehehe. kaya nga ayaw nya i renew contract nya as coach na gagalawin ang 500k salary as a player. hehehe/

[Jay P. Mercado]

Kenneth Duremdes' contract expired last December 31, 2008. The last time he signed a contract was with Alaska in 2001 where he was paid P500k for 8 years. Upon expiry of his contract, Duremdes was taken in by Coke management and will be paid around P300k a month (if I'm not mistaken) to coach the team.

He is the last player in the PBA roster to earn P500k after the salary cap was reduced to P350k sometime around 5 years ago. But because his contract was done on a long-term basis, his previous teams (SLR and Coke) had no recourse but to pay him that much even if he spent most of his time at the bench.

And yes, there was a time when SLR had three players whose salaries were P500k each (Aquino, Espino, Duremdes). As such, the team had no recourse but to get a bunch of marginal / role players to form the team. Paolo Mendoza was perhaps the next highest-paid salary in the team with around P225k a month sometime from 2003 onwards.
