The China Nuggets

Damn, are the Nuggets trying to send their whole team to China? They better hope the lockout ends sometime soon because they won’t have enough players. First Wilson Chandler. Then it was reported that J.R. Smith may soon become the highest paid player in Chinese Basketball Association history. Now, he may be topped by teammate Kenyon Martin, who has significant interest from two different clubs in the CBA. They are ready to give him an offer even greater than Smith’s. K-Mart is in line to have to take a huge pay cut from any NBA team that signs him (he’s a free agent). But in this setting, he’ll be the king. Do you think Martin would fit in on the court?

Optimism is great and Philly seems to have a lot of it. How high can they climb in the East next season? When you’re in the East, you better finish with at least a No. 5 seed to have a chance at advancing. There’s no way anyone is beating Boston, Miami or Chicago in the first round … We’re out like Martin.
