Shams: Billups money won t be deposited into escrow, he ll lose $7 million

October 30th According to previous Shams reports, the salaries of Rozier, who is under investigation for gambling, and Billups, who is under investigation for gambling, will not be paid during their suspension.

Shams talked about the specific details in the live broadcast: "The NBA communicated with all relevant parties - the Heat, Trail Blazers and other officials, and decided today to suspend the salary of Rozier and Billups. In essence, this is a kind of unpaid leave. So Rozier's $26.6 million and Billups' $7 million, for now, are both free for this season. "It will not be paid.

"However, as I understand it, one difference between the two situations is that Rozier's salary will be placed in an escrow account and whether he can get the money will depend on the outcome of the FBI charges, while Billups' salary will not be placed in escrow, so he will suffer a loss and he will not get the money, depending on the outcome of the investigation and when the results come out.
