Recently, some media people revealed the salary of former Liaoning team foreign aid Bass. According to its statement, fiba recently released documents disclosing that Bass's salary in the 2019-20 season and Liaoning team is $2.97 million after tax plus bonuses.
That said, after Bass gets the bonus, the contract is likely to exceed $3 million.
As soon as the news came out, many people expressed surprises about this, because in the eyes of the outside world, the Liaoning team was rarely willing to invest so much in the past to find foreign aid. Moreover, as a private enterprise, the Liaoning team has never been known for its wealth and wealth, so it is also very surprising that they can give a salary of about $3 million after tax to a foreign aid from Bass.
However, it was this season that Bass eventually abandoned Liaoning. According to the Liaoning official social media released at the end of March 2020, when they learned that the league may restart in April of that year, they contacted Bass and another foreign aid Stephenson for the first time, but the two were hesitant to worry about the health of their families.
After that, the restart of the league was postponed to mid-April, and the Liaoning team did a lot of communication work with Bass and Stephenson to set a return date, and even set a ticket for them to return to Shenyang, but Bass and Finson learned through their own channels that the restart of the league may be postponed again, and they also postponed the return date again.
In the end, neither Bass nor Finson returned to Liaoning, and Liaoning eventually used a third foreign assistant Mayo after the resumption.
Bass has received more recognition than Finson, who played in the CBA and Liaoning for the first time this season, and he also contributed to Liaoning's first CBA championship in team history in the 2017-18 season. However, the performance of the former NBA foreign aid declined, and although Liaoning gave him a very high salary, he still did not return to Liaoning in the 2019-20 season.
In contrast, many foreign players from other teams have returned to the CBA later, such as Guangdong's Weems, Beijing's Jeremy Lin and Youdu. At the same time, Guangdong's Marshon Brooks also returned to China, but he was unable to participate in the game because of infection. If Bass is really loyal to Liaoning, then he can return to Liaoning that season. In that case, Liaoning also has a chance to beat Guangdong to win the championship in the finals of this season, rather than losing to Guangdong again, after all, that season, Liaoning played a life-and-death battle in the finals under the leadership of Guo Allen, and Guangdong also lost Yi Jianlian, who was accidentally and seriously injured in the last battle.
