Kenyon Martin signs with Xingiang Guanghui
Longtime Nuggets forward Kenyon Martin will sign a contract to play with Xingiang Guanghui in the Chinese Basketball Association.
Martin's contract will be the the biggest in CBA history.
"It's a great opportunity for him to stay in shape and stay fresh," said Andy Miller, Martin's agent. "And it also gives him an opportunity to expand his name globally."
It's an exciting career opportunity for Martin, an unrestricted free agent, who won't have an out-clause in his contract. The CBA ends on Feb. 16, but Martin's team is talented and could make a playoff run toward the end of March.
Wilson Chandler and J.R. Smith, Martin's Denver teammates, are also playing in China this year.

So he's definitely making more than $3 mil per season. Wonder how much the full contract is worth.
Nuggets players leaving left and right.
Lawson in Lithuania (out clause)
Gallinari in Italy (out clause)
Mozgov in Russia (out clause)
JR Smith in China (no out clause)
Wilson Chandler in China (no out clause)
Kenyon Martin in China (no out clause)
...and then there's Nene who opted out of his contract.

JR Smith & Kenyon Martin werent coming back, so it really is only Wilson Chandler screwing the Nuggets by being gone until March.
The biggest screwjob will be Nene tricking the Nuggets into overpaying him at $12 Million+ per year or having to let him walk. When in actuality Nene is a contract year player who is a slightly above average NBA Center, not a Franchise player.
We'll need Kenyon Martin in NY for the Playoff push once he comes back.

No problem. I've wanted both if we can somehow get them to split the MLE.
K-Mart is close friends with Melo & Amare.
JR Smith is friends with Melo & hes from Jersey so it would be like a homecoming.

Martin wasn't going back to Denver anyway. I would like to see him and Steve Nash in Knicks jerseys, though I doubt either will happen.

Martin probably wants to play with a contender. J.R probably just wants to get away from Karl. Makes sense for J.R to leave for a year and come back try and mature\slow down his game a little bit maybe.
I seriously doubt they want to go to NY tho. J.R and Melo beefed and weren't exactly close. Remember J.R calling Melo selfish after a playoff game on twitter. Maybe Martin wants to go to NY never really seemed like a guy who'd want to go join up with Melo tho.
Really hope Denver let's Nene walk now.
