Big Baby explores options in China, but is staying put for now

[Roy H.]

According to a source speaking anonymously with NiuBBall, Guangsha has been very active in trying to find a a high profile replacement for Earl Clark, who left the team in late September for personal reasons after becoming the first NBA player to sign in China in early August. But instead of merely replacing Clark, Guangsha has been looking to upgrade at the position. According to the source, the team had entered negotiations with several NBA free- agent big men over the past two weeks, including Los Angeles Clippers center, DeAndre Jordan, and Boston Celtics forward, Glen Davis.  Though there was enough interest on the player side to have back-and-forth talks, the two ultimately walked away from Guangsha due increased optimism back in the United States that there will be an NBA season this year.

In other Glen news, he's sick of the lockout:

Glen Davis: Take the 51% man and let's play. Twitter

I'm not sure that the union is going to love that show of solidarity, but I hear where he's coming from.

Good for Glen, I'm glad he had the courage to voice his opinion of the lockout, and I think he's right, take 51% and play.

Glen voicing his opinion may be courage... but he's not courageous. He probably just doesn't realize the magnitude of his big mouth.

Regardless though i agree.

Forget courage.  He is voicing his opinion about something he has a say on.  The only thing I would tell him though, is don't tell us, tell your representatives. 

I hope I am wrong about this, but I get the feeling that there are way too many players out there, who are watching this whole thing play out, when they really should be getting involved. 

I bet there are a lot of players who feel just like Davis, and who are not at all happy with missing games over a couple percentage points.  But, if they don't make their voices heard, not to the public through twitter, but to their representatives of the union, then they will just continue to lose money they will never get back.

I say take the 51% and play, but I don't think the owners are offering 51%, are they? 

[slamtheking]

as the type of player who'd be most impacted by the BRI%, his say on the matter would be more notable.  He's in that category of MLE player (not full MLE but definitely not a vet-min player) where BRI% would impact MLE monies.

The majority of owners don't want to even offer 50% to the players.

51% is definitely not on the table.
