Denver Nuggets free-agent guard J.R. Smith is nearing an agreement on the richest contract in China Basketball Association history, sources told Yahoo! Sports.

Under terms of the deal, Smith would make more than $3 million to play the 2011-12 season with Shanxi, but lose his chance at unrestricted free agency prior to the start of the NBA season. Smith, who turns 26 Friday, has averaged 12.5 points per game in his seven-year NBA career.

Under league rules, the China Basketball Association is no longer signing NBA players who want opt-out clauses to return to the NBA prior to the end of the China season. China’s season runs through March.
Smith, an enigmatic but talented scorer, would risk a multi-year, multi-million dollar contract by signing to play in China. If Smith signs with Shanxi, he will be the second free agent the Nuggets have lost to China. Forward Wilson Chandler has already signed to play in China, which could hurt the Nuggets if the NBA and players union reach a labor agreement that salvages all, or part, of the 2011-12 season.

Either it’s guaranteed that there will not be a season this year or JR "I use K’s instead of C’s on Twitter" Smith is dead ass broke.

While the women is massaging you (or it could happen at the end of your massage), she either has sex with you, rubs your d*** or she sucks your d*** or maybe all of them.
Please tell me you’re 18+….

And in China because there are billion folks ALL forms of human labor are very very cheap. So a rich dude can get some crazy stuff done and he won’t even notice that he is spending money because it will be so cheap. I’ve been to China and if you’ve got western style money, you can live like a king.
Another term is getting a "rub and tug". That is for you Moximus.

I feel like this might be a good move by Smith. If he can handle the rigours of the CBA training style and discipline without any off-court incidents, and produce as the first option on his team it might be worth taking a year off from the NBA, because his deal might be all the sweeter when he comes back.
If this is what it takes for JR to finally start realising that vast potential then I welcome it. The Nuggets won’t miss him or Chandler with Afflalo there and Hamilton incoming. Also, it’s possible they join teams after the China season late in the NBA season to jump-start a playoff team.
Very curious to see how this turns out.
