The first off-season move is now in the books. Wilson Chandler has officially signed with a team in China. Zhejiang Guangsha Lions made the announcement Saturday following weeks of rumors. In fact, the team said the 6’7” veteran was on his way to Zhejiang, a city not far from Shanghai on China’s east coast.
It will be Chander’s second turn in China. He played there during the 2011-12 lockout. For the Nets, the loss is more of an accounting issue at this point. He missed the first 25 games due to a failed test for PED drugs then declined to play the last eight seeding games, citing his fear that is he caught the coronavirus, he could eventually infect his 87-year-old grandmother.
