aaron brooks簽約廣東，一心備戰下季與廣東之間CBA冠軍爭奪戰的新疆原本正與jamal crawford談判，現在為barea報價以加速確定人選填補douby受傷後的空缺。 http://ppt.cc/rA0i The Xinjiang Flying Tigers in China this week added J.J. Barea to their wish list and have extended a contract offer to the Dallas Mavericks free-agent guard, according to sources close to the situation. ESPN.com reported Monday that Xinjiang was also chasing Atlanta Hawks free a gent Jamal Crawford to fill the void created by a long-term wrist injury suf fered by former Sacramento Kings first-round pick Quincy Douby. Crawford has since said in multiple interviews that he's considering the off er, but Xinjiang wants to move fast after losing Douby -- one of the best pl ayers in the Chinese Basketball Association last season -- just days away fr om the Nov. 19 season opener. Barea, though, has expressed interest in playing in Spain and, according to sources close to Puerto Rico national team star, continues to explore his op tions there as well. Xinjiang has what's regarded as the biggest budget in China even after signi ng Denver Nuggets unrestricted free agent Kenyon Martin earlier in the summe r. And either Barea or Crawford would fill the Flying Tigers' need for a spe edy scoring guard who can create his own shot. Yet the challenge for Xinjiang in landing either player -- even amid the gro wing uncertainty Stateside about how long the lockout will last -- is the ne w league rule in China that forbids teams there from offering in-season outs to newly signed players who want to return to the NBA as soon as the lockou t ends. The rule means Barea or Crawford, if either chooses to sign with Xinjiang, w ould be obligated to stay there through the end of the Chinese season in Mar ch. Nuggets free agents Wilson Chandler and J.R. Smith and Phoenix Suns free -agent guard Aaron Brooks, along with Martin, are the most prominent NBA pla yers to sign in China during the lockout. "China isn't all the way closed yet," Crawford told ESPN.com when reached Th ursday night. "Just being patient and hoping for the best with the NBA situa tion." Xinjiang is also one of the Chinese teams that negotiated with Los Angeles L akers star Kobe Bryant earlier this summer. The Flying Tigers, sources say, would love to make another run at Bryant, but the CBA also instituted a rule in the summer that prevents its teams from signing any player with an exist ing NBA contract. Amid ongoing speculation that Chinese teams could elect on their own to rele ase a signee from the NBA when the lockout ends, sources say that Xinjiang m anagement, desperate to win a CBA championship this season, will be the stri ctest in insisting that Martin and any other player it signs out of the NBA stay for the entire Chinese season even if the lockout is eventually lifted and the 2011-12 NBA season is saved. The suggestion continues to circulate i n Chinese basketball circles that Chandler and Smith could be released when the lockout ends by their respective Chinese teams -- both in the province o f Zhejiang --despite the fact that teams in the CBA have been threatened wit h sanctions if they waive players in-season to return to the NBA. --
