A: The fact that both Jordan Crawford and Andray Blatche opted for China says plenty about the level of interest from the NBA. Granted, the money in China can be better than the NBA minimum, but a guaranteed minimum deal possibly would have lured one or both. Then there's Ramon Sessions, who got two years guaranteed from the Kings, above the minimum. To a degree, all three reached the point of being "names," instead of being viewed as rotation players. That surprises me with Blatche, who appeared to have his moments in Brooklyn. Keep in mind that those who sign in China can return to the NBA in March, so this chapter might not yet be fully closed. But with their commitment to 19 for training camp, it likely will take a rotation player for the Heat to offer guaranteed money.
