He's under contract in China until February.

He's under contract in China until February.

Yes, but his team might want to release him:

Another player who won't sign here for numerous reasons. He would not settle for a league min first of all.

This is a guy who signed overseas knowing that the season runs till Feb/Mar however he thinks he's above it and doesn't take the consequences of signing. Plays head games to get the Chinese team to release him.

We need a Center, if not a shooter. Not another PF.

The only Nugget I'd want is Wilson Chandler- who we have no hope of getting.
Leave Smith and that other scrub KMart to rot in China. Terrible attitudes.

[snively]

Kenyon would be great.  Free up Bass and/or Wilcox as trade bait.

[Yogi]

Wilson Chandler or Ak47 would be absolutely perfect.  Unfortunately they are probably out of our price range.

[TripleOT]

At least one of these overseas NBA player will be taking the minimum to get back into the league this year, since most teams are over the cap and don't have MLE and MMLE to use. 

If you were a player looking to get a big contract next year, would you want to play for a scrub team for a couple or months for a pro rated portion of $2m, or a contender for a pro rated portion of the minimum?  I'll take the playoff exposure of the contender, especially if I'm a KMart who has already banked $108 million, or an AK-47, with $91m.

Scary thought.


We are now scanning the Chinese waiver wire.

Rather have Wilson Chandler or AK 47.

Picking up one of these guys is our best hope for improving the bench. The thing is, what does our bench need most, a go to scorer like jr smith or a defensive energy guy like ak47? I would go with smith, who can create his own shot and add much needed offense.

[Lucky17]

Except for KMart, aren't most of the Chinese league players restricted free agents? How would the Celtics acquire them, without their NBA teams simply matching/beating any offer?

I'd love JR Smith but I believe he's restricted and Denver would match the min with a smile on their face.

I'd rather have Bass and Wilcox play than the wash up-often injured Martin.
