Signed, signed! Kans is the highest salary in the history of the big team! He directly quit the NBA

Someone said: I would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail!

So, this summer we have seen many NBA marginal players leave the NBA one after another and switch to other low-level leagues to start a new chapter in their careers! As for the reason, it is of course related to the players' team status and income and other factors. For those players who are extremely eager to play on the court, it would be better to go to the low-level league to win the game and become a team-style figure. Wouldn't that be happy! And just today, another player in the league directly announced his withdrawal from the NBA and transferred to the NBL. On August 5, McVeigh brokerage announced that former NBA Rockets player Jack McVeigh officially signed with the Australian NBL Cans Grand Team for two years and $2 million, of which the second year of the contract is a common option.

It is reported that this signing makes Jack McVeigh one of the four highest-paid players in the new season of the Australian NBL. According to ESPN Australian reporter Olgun Uluc, Jack McVeigh’s two-year, $2 million new contract is the most expensive contract in the history of Kans’s team!

Perhaps, we are a little unfamiliar with Jack McVeigh. After all, he has not had many opportunities to show up in the NBA, but he is a real Rockets player. In the 2024-25 season, Jack McVeigh, a two-way contract player, played 9 games for the Houston Rockets, averaging 4.8 minutes per game, scoring 1.6 points, 0.6 rebounds, 0.1 assists and 0.2 blocks, shooting percentage of 29.4% and three-point shooting percentage of 30.8%.

In 34 games played for the Rockets' Development League team Vipers, Jack McVee averaged 16.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.4 steals, and 0.4 blocks per game, shooting percentage of 44%, three-point shooting percentage of 37%, and free throw shooting percentage of 87.5%.

In addition, in the four summer league games that represented the Atlanta Hawks this summer, Jack McVee averaged 14 points and 2.5 rebounds per game, and his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 45.5%. There is no doubt that Jack McVeigh, who is 2.03 meters tall, is a forward player with excellent shooting ability from the outside.

It is reported that before Jack McVeigh officially joined the Cance Grand Team, he had seriously considered invitations from several top European League teams. At the same time, Jack McVeigh, 29, is also actively seeking opportunities to stay in the NBA! But in the face of the largest contract in the history provided by the Kans Grandpa team, Jack McVeigh finally decisively gave up continuing to pursue his dreams in the NBA, and then switched to the NBL to join the Kans Grandpa team to start a new chapter in his career!

Congratulations to Rockets former player Jack McVeigh for winning the most expensive contract in the history of Kans! May all the best in NBL! I hope you can return to the NBA in the future! Come on, Jack McVeigh!
