Basketball fans in Israel woke up this morning (Thursday) to particularly surprising news when they found out that Danny Avdia was traded to the Portland Trail Blazers. Portland finished last season in last place in the Western Conference, but it is still a club with a respectable recent and distant history.
Financially, Portland is ranked 22nd in the league in terms of its value, which is about 3.08 billion dollars. In the last year, the club registered an operating profit of 65 million dollars, with total operating expenses of 5.2 million dollars (not including salaries of players and professional staff).
Financially, Avdia will not be affected by the move. He will continue the generous contract he signed in Washington, which guarantees him 55 million dollars for four years. In the new group will be the fourth highest paid Israeli star, after:
DeAndre Ayton – $34 million per year
Jeremy Grant – $29.79 million per year
Anfernie Simmons – $25.89 million per year
In total, Portland is expected to pay player wages of $191.66 million per year, but additional roster changes are expected that will affect the total salary. Avdia’s new hall, Moda Center, has 19,393 seats. The average price of a ticket is 250 dollars, so Israeli fans who want to watch it will have to put a hand deep in their pocket.
