Chinese teams...all good capitalists..will take $$$ to let them out of their contracts..
AMAZING how quickly the players settled once the paychecks from the owners stopped, isn’t it?
Kind of hyperbolic to say “they are stuck there”. They have to fulfill the commitments they agreed to of their own free will. Poor babies.
Anyone who remembers the start-up of the ABA knows how NBA players feel about honoring contracts.
Great learning experience for each one.
They will come home with a new appreciation of the good ole U.S.of A.
It will take the NBA quite a while to get over this. 29 owners vs. 450 players. Such an elite group. The tier 1 teams, i.e. Lakers have tier 1 fans, i.e. hollywood types. Lower tier teams don’t have a chance.
Most of the house is corporate owned. It’s good to be a client of DeLoitte-Anderson-Cap Gemini etc.
And in laughable Sacramento, the Kings got a repreive from being an also ran in southern CA, their arena name was changed from ARCO to Power Balance Bracelets who just declared bankruptcy.
