No, if they are under contract, they have to play the life of the contract orthe team will by them out of their contract, maybe paying up to 50% of the remaining balance of the contract.
But the only money a retired NBA player will get is his pension, the amount of the pension is determined on how much the player made and the amount of years he played in the league.
