Does this mean war?

Atlanta Hawks free agent forward Ivan Johnson has signed a deal to play in China this year despite interest from four NBA teams.

According to tweets Thursday from Jared Zwerling of ESPN, the 29-year old will play in this upcoming season for the Zhejiang Chouzhou Golden Bulls even though he had drawn interest from the Chicago Bulls, New York Knicks, Indiana Pacers and Los Angeles Clippers. Although terms of his deal are still unknown, Zwerling reported that Johnson’s agent said the deal in China was too good to pass up:

I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.
