Basketball player receives half a million dollars for being fired just 2 hours after signing contract

Jose Calderon, a basketball player, just 'pocketed' nearly half a million dollars right after being fired by his team.

The Golden State Warriors basketball club recently made the strangest contract in history: buying and selling a player immediately within just 2 hours.

It is known that the basketball player named in this "crazy" contract is Jose Calderon. 35 years old, Calderon is playing for the Los Angeles Lakers. He was chosen by the Warriors in a very lightning-fast way.

However, it seems that the Warriors' scouting staff immediately signed Matt Barnes, a player under Scramento King, to another contract. At the same time, the team immediately fired Calderon, even though he had not played a single minute.

Jose Calderon was signed and fired by the Warriors within 2 hours.

With the above contract breach, the Warriors had to pay Calderon compensation of up to 415,000 USD.

The reason for this quick deal is because the Warriors' star Kevin Durant suffered a serious injury and will be out for the rest of the season. Therefore, the club had to quickly find a new name to replace him.

Regardless, the biggest beneficiary of this deal is Jose Calderon. Because by the end of the season, even if he doesn’t play a single game, this player will still receive nearly half a million dollars. At the same time, he will also become a free agent, and can choose to play for any team.
