Kobe Bryant has reportedly agreed to a deal to play in China with Shanxi Zhongyu beginning November 1 if the lockout continues. If true, this is absolutely huge news for superstars considering going abroad. With the Chinese Basketball Association set to vote on rules later this week regarding opt-out clauses, the news comes at a highly intriguing time. Bryant had been previously exploring his options in China, and was reported to have a deal from a team worth $1.5 million monthly. Bryant's brand is huge in China, and it's very plausible that he winds up playing with the club if significant process isn't made on the labor front.
