Former CBA foreign player Ty Lawson has finally found a new job, this time to puerto rican league team Mets de Guaynabo. Lawson's new club, Mets de Guaynabo, is competing in the playoffs and it's unclear if he'll be available for the team's next playoff games or will need to wait until next season to play for the team.
There have been rumors that Tay-Lawson hopes that the CBA will lift the ban on him so that he can return to the CBA, for which he also apologized to Chinese fans on social media. However, it is clear that the CBA company is unmoved by this and has no expression on this.
Ty Lawson (born November 1987 in Clinton, Maryland) is a point guard. He joined the University of North Carolina in 2006. He entered the NBA through the draft in 2009 and played for the Nuggets, Rockets, Pacers and Kings. In August 2017, he signed a contract with the Shandong High-speed Men's Basketball Team. In April 2018, he left the CBA to sign for the Washington Wizards. In December 2018, he returned to the Shandong men's basketball team. In September 2019, he left the Shandong men's basketball team and joined the Fujian SBS Xunxing Basketball Club.
Lawson played in the CBA for three seasons, playing for Shandong and Fujian. From the perspective of personal ability, Lawson can pass the ball and score points by himself, although the shooting rate of long-range shots is not high, but the hit rate and lethality of the emergency stop jump shot are very strong. However, his professionalism and personal qualities are extremely poor. Such a player, no one knows when he will explode, affecting the entire team. On September 18, 2020, Tai Lawson posted insulting remarks against Chinese women on his overseas social media accounts, followed by an indecent photo; on the evening of the 19th, Fujian Xunxing Basketball Club issued a statement announcing that it would not renew its contract; at the same time, Tai Lawson was banned for life by the CBA. In addition, his professionalism is also questionable, Shandong fans will never forget, he in the playoffs against Zhejiang Guangsha, in the most critical away game, he directly took the luggage back to the United States to the away game, did not plan to return to the home game. Just because he still has to consider going back to the NBA to play, he just ignores the team here. Such professionalism and character, no matter how good the ball skills are, no one dares to ask for it!
Although the level of the CBA league is not high, it also has its own bottom line, that is, players with problems with character and professionalism are prohibited from entering. This is commendable!
