I'm curious. Anyone know what the pay is - beyond what's in a couple of articles I could find - for a member of a pro team based on Cyprus?

Some of the articles are not current.

Articles mentioning Cypriot pro ball:

Anyway, good for Russell getting to play some more.

Go Ponies.

Probably not much. Last year's league champion plays in a 2100 seat arena. The runner up has 3000 seats.

Great to hear good news about Nick. He was always one of my favorites.
