Kobe to China?

Due to the NBA lockout, there has been a rumor going around the internet that Kobe Bryant may try to sign with the Shanxi team in China. No one really knows how long this lockout will go on for, and personally I think it's just rich people arguing that they wont have enough money to take their families to another dimension come the 2011-2012 season. The Black Mamba may very well end up being known as 黑眼镜蛇. And nobody wants that. 


**UPDATE**
It looks like our friends debt owners from the east aren't looking to whore themselves out for any NBA player currently under contract with the NBA. Reports from NBA PM say that the CBA will not lease out any contracts to any player in a contract, and any free agent would have to stay the length of the contract regardless if the lockout is resolved.
