According to the news of the latest issue of "Basketball Base Camp" of Guangdong Sports Channel, Guangdong team's three consecutive champions of foreign aid Weems made a guest appearance on this show, which included an interview and revealed very key information. For Weems, he has taken the initiative to express his thoughts to the Guangdong team and Zhu Fangyu, and he himself has also stated that he will not retire and will continue to stay in the CBA league in the new season.
Weems said in an interview with the Guangdong Sports Channel: Of course I want to continue to play for Guangdong, I want to retire here. But from a business perspective, we all know that a lot of things happen naturally. In addition to the individual wishes of the players, the team's thinking at the management level should also be considered. I said I wanted to continue to play in Guangdong and even retire here.
In addition, for if you can't renew your contract in Guangdong, Weems also said that he plans for next season: I will play for a few more years, maybe not in Guangdong, maybe in other cities and other provinces. To be sure I will stay in the CBA, that's my plan. Therefore, according to Weems' current age and state, even if Guangdong gives up the renewal, it will still be able to find a contract in other teams.
In the eyes of many Guangdong fans, Weems' status has indeed dropped a lot last season, but if you can agree to a salary cut and renewal, it is definitely a win-win choice. If Weems agrees to a salary cut, he can free up salary for guangdong team to find a third foreign aid, or he can join hands with Marzan Brooks to become a double foreign aid or even a triple foreign aid.
Of course, whether Weems can renew his contract needs to be discussed by the Coaching Staff and management of the Guangdong team before it can be decided. Even if Weems leaves the Guangdong team, he cannot deny his contribution to the Guangdong team. Even, Guangdong team reporter Guan Xin directly said that Weems is the best foreign aid in the history of Guangdong team, after all, three consecutive championships, Weems' role is very critical.
