    yeah ..what I wanted to say is that things have changed from what they were.

    A CBA contract isn't what it used to be where a player would get all his money with no effort no matter what.
    If Faried is injured or his team doesn't perform he can be cut the next day with no money in his pocket.

    ot btw what I don't get is how in Asia it counts to fingerprint your contract like it's a signature.
    Do they keep a fingerprint database for all citizens and foreigners?

    I dun like finger prints at all.

    The next you know people are burning their fingertips to manipulate that.

    Wouldn't mind the old CIA - Retinal Scan though.

    Like a signature can't be forged? I think because of rampant fraud, it's one way to make sure that the real person agrees to the contract. They may or may not have a database but if there is a question about who approved/signed the contract they can check at that point with who is contesting the contract.

    Haha, as hilarious as this is, it’s very obvious that anyone defending China has not lived there for more than 2 weeks.

    Lived no I spent several months there for a trial a decade ago. The suburbs of Detroit are exceedingly nice and very wealthy. There is no question that there are areas of Detroit that are terrible, but there are also areas that are opulent. A lot of the “white flight” areas are just empty fields now.

    The worst places I have been to in the USA are East St. Louis, parts of Baltimore, and parts of Chicago.

    However for the most part it is a lot of crime concentrated in small areas.

    Having lived in China and Europe and USA and in South/Central America I can say I would far rather live in Detroit than China.

    How do you know though?

    I am positive that most folks that have Chinese roots could have lived there, may they be anti or pro government.

    For those who have not lived there, they could follow Jerry Lin, Faried or Dmo and live there for more than 2 weeks.

    With all of Clint's niggling injuries and now a shoulder that makes him ineffective rebounding, dunking or even blocking unless doing so 2 handed, Faried would have been a nice band aid.

    As in annoying/uncomfortable but not enough to keep him from playing.

    Okay thanks.

    I’ve never heard it used that way.

    I thought you perhaps misspelled nagging.
