Seahorse Mikawa is one of the higher paying teams in the B league. Foreign players and ex NBA players make between $500K and $1M a year. I's say Aaron is doing OK. Been to Japan numerous times, expats get treated very well and the Japanese people are nice.

Thanks for info. I know most leagues limit on American players but they are also usually highest paid. I’ve heard nothing but good things from people who have visited there so sounds like a good place to be outside the states for him.

white I remember had a kid shortly after graduating and has definitely made some nice $ playing overseas. I think few years after being 2nd rd pick by wizards turned down training camp invite. At the time was making more $ playing elsewhere then end of bench guy in the nba would (could be different now). Can’t blame him and the wizards are one of worst organizations in nba.

It would be a blast to travel there and make a plan to show up at one of these games with a big Hawkeye flag! I'm sure Aaron would sign it.

From Denver on United you are probably 13 hours to Narita. Economy is around $1500, I would guess first class is North of $6,000. Expensive way to get an autograph. Trust me, international flights are not a blast.
