Hasheem Thabeet expected to play in China

I am now the biggest Jilin Northeast Tigers or Fujian Xunxing Sturgeon fan in America!

I would be very careful playing in China at this time

Definitely don't bring drugs!

It's the lockdown that's terrifying.

Don’t bring drugs anywhere in Asia or Australia. Been that way for decades. It’s well known it’s zero tolerance

I was thinking the same. After what just happened in Russia I wouldn't go to play in China. Has to be many more places you can play. Why take any risks playing in China?

As long as he doesn't criticize the CP he's probably fine. I'm pretty sure that every basketball player on the planet is aware of the Griner incident. Unlikely Thabeet would ignore the lesson.

Agreed, especially for a guy associated with the US. "West Taiwan" is just not worth further heightened political risks, tightening expat controls, and ongoing domestic politics-motivated quarantines set to last at least until October's CCP pow wow. Jilin, frigid crap hole much closer to Vladivostok and the DPRK than Beijing or other sort of OK mainland cities. Fujian, massive PLA presence. NFW!

For you to say this it brings things home. It's a place I would not even visit. Just too much risk for an American and there are many better options.
