    Armed with its star-studded NBA client list, Wasserman Media Group is proposing a basketball exhibition tournament in China as the agency explores moneymaking options for its players should there be an extended lockout.

    In a “China Basketball Tour” proposal summary obtained by SportsBusiness Journal, a sister publication of Sporting News, Wasserman in April began floating a plan to bring 15 to 20 of its NBA clients to China for a two- or three-week tournament if there is a work stoppage.

    The agency represents 45 NBA players, including this past season’s Most Valuable Player, Derrick Rose.

    I would hope star players would not risk injury in something like this. 

    Disclaimer.  I did not read the link.  But star studded players should have enough $$ that they would not play in this.  It is the fringe low payroll dudes that would need the $$.

    They wouldn’t do it anyway, because you are not allowed to use twitter and facebook in China..and it seems like majority of players can’t go ten minutes without posting something on twitter..
