Miles signed a full Exhibit 10 deal, which means he would get the entire $50,000 bonus, plus his G-League salary of $35,000. The likely scenario is that Miles will compete for the Sixers’ G-League team, the Delaware Blue Coats. Charles and Miles estimate that he could have earned at least three times that amount in Europe. “I am single, have not kids, no mortgage, and have invested the money that I made, so I am not in a financial bind,” Miles said.
