    Good way of keeping in game shape. Hopefully when he returns he can sign with a team in the NBA. Always been a fan of his.

    Maybe him and Marbury can have an epic rivalry over there.

    Any TOFs still blaming Adelman and Morey for not bringing up to the line-up earlier, when he was asking for playtime? He was clearly not fully healed and may have sabotaged his own physical rehab. If he had not rushed it, he might have stayed in the NBA like Grant Hill.

    Meh, don't care. He had his chances to be a good team player but he threw that under the bus once he "demanded" more playing time. If the Bobcats don't want to sign you for the vet minimum or even NY for that matter you're pretty much done in the NBA. Who knows maybe he'll be able to come back after the short season over in the CBA.

    Wait, I thought he was "in the best shape of his life" and "never felt better".

    That aint funny. He well past his prime but he isn't ready to retire because he still wants to play. Nothing wrong with that. Im not a big fan of his either but I just don't think its funny.

    He should be able to hang in the CBA, a pretty low level league.

    We will probably never know why he said such boneheaded things.

    The thing that's really funny is that he'll make more money on his little stint in China than most of the guy's laughing at him will make in their entire life.

    So, what do you have to say now tinman?

    Your boy can't make it in any team in the league and has to go play for a jv team. I'd like to see you TOFs spin this one around.

    I'm pretty sure there's like two threads on this already in the Dish. But yeah, not surprising. He already has major ties to China and whatnot. Perhaps he'll tag along to a contender at the end of the year when his Chinese season is over.

    Hope he does well.

    I don't like your tone for 2 things:
    T-mac is aging, as any player will. You can comment on the fact, but you should not dis-respect the player;
    CBA is not so talented as NBA, but players of CBA work hard and play hard as well. Different competitive levels, but not inferior.

    and don't say you didn't mean it, you meant it, and I don't like it
