Hello advice,
I'd like to get some input on my situation.
I'm 20 years old and plan for a career in professional basketball. I already play for a first league basketball team in Germany and was offered a long term contract with - for German standards - good pay. They expect me to sign it during the winter/spring (definitely before the NBA draft next year).
The issue is that I might get the chance to be drafted in the NBA - though nothing is set in stone for that yet.
The club here in Germany of course wants to prevent that and have told me straight up that if I don't sign the contract in winter and end up not getting drafted the new contract they would offer me would look a lot worse (the one they offer me right now already pays way less than any NBA rookie contract would).

Just decide between high risk, high reward and low risk, low reward. That said though, you might never get signed for NBA which means you would gain infinitely more from signing in Germany.
It's your call really.
Personally I would sign with the Germans unless I was very confident in getting drafted for NBA.

You do have a point, maybe I should have left out that its about basketball and just made it sound like a job offer instead.
What I forgot to mention is that the club in Germany is in my home town and its also one of the bigger, more successful ones in Germany. So in case I don't get drafted I could probably find another club in Germany willing to maybe pay me more - but I'm not sure if I'd like to.
