http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=aw-wojnarowski_china_nba_players_112811 Except for Chandler's absence, this shouldn't hurt the NBA at all.
In the standings our main rival is always Denver. They lost Wilson Chandler, a starter, and we lost Mills. China is a great country.
The article says they don't intend to re-sign Martin, and that Smith is a behavior problem in China. Anyway, with Jerry Sloan retired, it's clear sailing for us. Unless Andre Miller has something to prove to PapaG.
Also, Denver will lose free agent Nene in the next 30 days unless they offer him a 4-year contract for $55 million. Even then, he may jump if he gets a better offer.
DAMN!!!!!!! JR SMITH won't be asked to leave now! Or maybe his team said if you bust your ass for the next 2 weeks, we'll release you! Look at his last game ........ 55pts/22reb/7stls
