Official announcement! The NBA’s top talented big man has been laid off. Will joining the Guangdong team become the first choice?

The high-profile CBA league is still in the offseason, and news about the reinforcement of various teams’ foreign aid links has been emerging recently. It is reported that center Bamba of the NBA Western Conference powerhouse Utah Jazz has been officially announced to have been waived, which provides many teams in the CBA League with opportunities to strengthen their interior lines. As a pure No. 5 with a height of 2.13 meters and an astonishing wingspan of 2.19 meters, Bamba was unable to gain a foothold in the NBA league due to his substandard golf intelligence and skills. Next, Bamba may consider joining the CBA League. It was previously reported that he had received a "sky-high" invitation from a giant team in the Chinese League. Now it seems that Bamba is very likely to join the CBA League, but it is unlikely that he will get a lucrative contract.

Although Bamba has epic physical talent and has super mobility due to his height and wingspan, his golf intelligence and skills are huge disadvantages. Taking a step back, Bamba today can only become a qualified blue-collar frame-protecting inside line, and is not qualified to play the role of the team's first center. Therefore, many fans believe that Bamba will basically miss a contract with an NBA team in the future, and joining an overseas league is basically a foregone conclusion. Today, many teams in the CBA League have completed the deployment of four foreign players. So far, only the Guangdong Men's Basketball Team, which is the favorite to win the championship, may spend a lot of money to introduce an insider in the fourth foreign aid link, and other teams may not favor Bamba.

For the Guangdong team, Zhu Fangyu has acquired McCall, Treflin Quinn and Sullinger in the offseason. The strength of the three on the offensive end is obvious to all. McCall and Sullinger have already proven themselves in the CBA league, and both of them can adapt to the intensity of Du Feng's championship competition. Quinn is a powerful offensive and defensive forward, and his fault tolerance rate will be high if he joins the Guangdong team in the future. Under such circumstances, the possibility of the Guangdong team continuing to seek an offensive foreign aid is very low. Unless it's a super foreign aid like Sumner, who was the scoring champion last season, Du Feng must be betting on a qualified frame-protecting insider in the last foreign aid link. Especially after talented center Xu Xin left the team, only Jiao Boqiao and Wang Shaojie were left unable to keep the Guangdong team's inside line.

In fact, the big inside killer Salinger is more inclined to score on the offensive end, but the Guangdong team's local lineup Cui Yongxi, Jiao Boqiao, Hu Mingxuan, Du Runwang and Xu Jie already have strong space and speed. Under such circumstances, the Guangdong team needs to introduce a frame-protecting insider who can keep up with the offensive and defensive speed of the local lineup. Since most of the old foreign players in the CBA League have been claimed, Zhu Fangyu also had to choose to introduce new foreign players from other channels. Bamba was waived by the Jazz during this period and has undoubtedly become the most suitable fourth foreign aid candidate for the Guangdong team. Moreover, Bamba is still at the peak of his career and will be able to play for at least 5-8 years in the future.

In conclusion, at this stage, Bamba is basically unable to continue to obtain a contract from an NBA team, so Zhu Fangyu can consider using the remaining foreign aid budget to pursue this talented center. If the Guangdong team can use the fourth foreign aid link to fill the vacancies inside, then it will at least be able to reach the finals in the new season.
