Assuming it's 4.4M for a single season, that's equivalent to getting ~8.8M/year in the NBA. He also won't need to try too hard to dominate, and will be treated as a superstar there.
He better not talk too much about the Houston Rockets when he is there. He might get exiled by the Chinese government.
Do remember how good the Faried/Capela line up was last year? Good times. We only saw it maybe 3 times before MDA said, "Too Big".
He is terrible on defense and really has shown no real desire to improve. Coaches can deal with bad defenders that play within a defensive system but Faried doesn't even do that.
This. Why is it so difficult to grasp? Every GM knows he doesn't fit in the NBA. There is no team that wants him. Like non. Can we now please stop crying out as if he would be some sort of saviour??
Man, China can be a pretty damn awesome place to live, especially if you dig on dim-sum. Zhouzhuang is sublime...
Yeah, it was cool for the two months I interned in Shanghai, but I was also ready to go home by the time I left.
It's just weird to me. He seemed to be all hustle and energy, especially in his early Denver days, and during his brief stint with us. Calm your t***. iirc, he seemed to be decent during his time for us, so I thought a team might have a use for him, or at least give him a short contract or something. Maybe he thought he was too good for undisclosed offers.
I would assume there are a lot of '**** holes' in the USA / Western Europe as well. Can't generalize based only on your own limited experience, imo.
Seems someone has a vendetta going on against a country and its government and moved it to people and soil ...... so long! Faried is going to get whatever he needs for living in a bigger city. He might try 'The Good Place'.
I think shitholes work in this context too. Some areas in NY are literally full of garbage, with whole buildings smell like weed.
Wait, so nobody picked up Faried just like nobody’s picked up Melo after over a year? Let me guess, the Rockets have caused Faried to get “blackballed” as well?
