Around SBN: Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant's Post-Game 5 Outfits

Aw sh*t. Chinese Basketball Association bans opt-out clauses

by The Rooster on Aug 18, 2011 3:20 PM EDT

Here's the link. Looks like we'll have to make do with Andre Emmett and Bonzi Wells and that one guy who used to wear #3 for the Knicks.

Dwyer, who of course is greatly respected by all of P&T, likes this move. It will be good for the quality of basketball, but I wonder if the popularity of the game in China, at risk since Yao's retirement, will plummet due to the lack of brand-name stars in the country during the lockout. Is the CBA missing a golden opportunity here?

Elsewhere, Ty Lawson has signed with a Lithuanian club and will team up with Sonny Weems. Please, don't make me have to get excited over that pairing.

sorry but

CBA is more commonly known as ‘Collective Bargaining Agreement’, especially during the lock-out.

I clicked the link to this post thinking you were talking about the Collective Bargaining Agreement, and I’m sure many others will do the same.

Good call

I still mentally equate it to Isiah’s pet, the poor little tropical fish whose owner never fed him or cleaned his tank

No

The CBA won’t approve a full season contract signed by a player contractually obligated to the NBA. Unless the season is wiped out of course.

More or less

Though there have been some rumors from officials on Chinese teams that there could be a way around this ruling.

i think it was just a dumb move, that coulda have gotten some serious reviews if people like dwight and kobe went that way

After watching what went on in the Georgetown game last night

Marbury may have a point about China being tough rough. That fight last night, made the Pacers vs. Pistons a few years ago look like a group hug!
