Although Max Strus did not see the best start to his professional career, he sure is living the dream as Miami Heat makes it to the NBA Finals in a generational campaign. Despite not being drafted in the 2019 draft class, Strus did sign a two-way contract with the Boston Celtics initially.
Unfortunately for him, the Celtics would have to waive him as they couldn’t accommodate Strus for the final spot on the team’s opening-day roster. He would then start his career with the Chicago Bulls, signing a two-way contract with the franchise.
But Strus was sidelined due to injuries for the majority of his first season. It was December 2020 when Max signed a two-way contract with the Miami Heat. Having played an integral role in the Heat’s playoffs campaign, Strus has been an important part of the squad. So exactly how much is the shooting guard earning in the NBA?
