China new import rules, could help NBL

Honestly, could be better for both parties, teams and players.

The (Chinese) teams' case has already been acknowledged.

However, an import player, especially a young one, may think that a 10 day or 1 month non-guarantied contract is a good way to see if they want to spend a (whole) season there. If they don't, or don't get offered a full contract, they can consider it as part of their learning process, and it's not like it will be career defining.

Question (for me) is, does "non-guaranteed" mean that the player is not guaranteed any payment at all or that a full-season is not guaranteed. They may still make a tidy sum for their short-term stay which may actually encourage players like Ball to check out China 1st. Doesn't work, he comes to Oz.

Great move by the CBA and it helps the NBL potentially as well.

Is this a trade war move?

Is it a big deal for a hopeful to come across and play 2 x 10 day no guaranteed contracts? Who normally pays for flights and accomomdation?

... and yeah, agree, good for the NBL. Makes the prospect of signing in China even riskier.

Probably a smart move given how much cash they throw at former NBA guys who don't take the gig seriously.

When is Bogut expected to return from rehab? I am really looking forward to see how he goes with the new team and new coach.
