First of all, it is a serious question. His qualifying offer from Dallas is $775,000 and Dallas can match up to 4.5mill. The rumors about problems with China are overplayed. He is staying in the US to improve his game. He is a free agent and if he kicks some butt in the world games he can make a nice contract. I really think he is trying to improve for more money. He is also very serious about his game. I saw him play about 10 times this year and he is constantly working to improve. It's working. He is growing confident in his shot and is trying to play defense. He has a smooth a 3pointer as Bullard had (well, close) and is developing some to the basket moves. Outside of that he is a Chinese player and has a couple of years experience navigating the NBA. He could help on the floor communicating and explaining concepts to Ming. We would also have a HUGE market in China with the two most popular players in the country on our team. How high would you go on him and would you do a deal with Dallas to get him?
what saleem said. I like Wang as a player, but in terms of our needs now, Wang's strengths (right now) are duplicated in what we have in Yao (and not because they're both Chinese). I'm happy with Cato backing up Yao, but you know who I'd love to have backing up Yao? Nene. Still, once our players develop, it shouldn't be hard to solidify our team with journeyman role players.
