Well now, let me tell ya a bit about this young fella, Dyson Daniels. He’s been makin’ a name for himself over at the New Orleans Pelicans, playin’ basketball, of course. I don’t know much about basketball, but I heard tell he got a pretty good deal for himself when he signed with ’em.
Now, from what I understand, Dyson Daniels signed a fancy contract worth $25.06 million! That’s right, $25 million! That’s a lot of zeros, don’t ya think? And it ain’t just for a year, it’s for four whole years! That means he’ll be makin’ that money for a good while, so long as he keeps playin’ well for the Pelicans. And don’t forget, that contract’s got $11.29 million all guaranteed. That means, even if he trips over his shoelaces and can’t play, they still gotta pay him some of that money. Ain’t that somethin’?
Now, don’t you go thinkin’ that Dyson Daniels is sittin’ back with his feet up already. Oh no, he’s gotta earn that pay. For the season in 2024-2025, he’s gonna earn a base salary of $6,059,520. Yep, you heard right, over six million dollars just for one season. Now, that’s a whole lot more than most folks make in a lifetime! And this here salary of his will hit the cap at the same amount, $6,059,520, so the folks at the Pelicans are puttin’ a good bit of trust in him.
Now, I don’t understand all the details about cap hits and dead cap values and all them fancy terms, but I do know that Dyson Daniels is on a good streak. They tell me he’s got some skills in the game, and he’s only just gettin’ started. He’s been playin’ for the Pelicans since he signed in 2022, and he’s still young. Born back in 2003 in Bendigo, Australia, which is a long ways from New Orleans, but he sure made his way over here quick.
For folks who don’t know much about the NBA, like me, it’s a big ol’ league where these young men play basketball and make a heap of money. There’s one player named Stephen Curry who’s earnin’ a whopping $55.76 million in the 2024-2025 season! Can you believe that? Dyson Daniels might not be makin’ that much yet, but I reckon he’s workin’ his way up.
Oh, and did you know Dyson Daniels has a contract that goes all the way to 2026? After that, there’s a chance he could be a free agent, or maybe he’ll stick around with the Pelicans, depending on how he does. But right now, he’s doin’ just fine, pullin’ in over $6 million for the next season. Not too shabby for a young fella, huh?
One thing’s for sure, Dyson Daniels is a name to remember. Whether he keeps gettin’ better or not, folks’ll be talkin’ about his salary and his game for a good long while. Who knows, maybe in a few years he’ll be up there with them other big-name players, makin’ even more money. But for now, he’s sittin’ pretty with that $25 million contract, and he’s earnin’ every bit of it.
So, if you ever get to watch him play, you can say you knew how much he was makin’ way back when. Ain’t that somethin’ to tell the grandkids about?
