"We don't know whether the CBA allows foreign aid or what, and we can only get information through the online media every day." Shi Linjie, general manager of the Jiangsu Kendia men's basketball team, revealed that the CBA has not given a letter of approval until now. Indeed, it has reached the middle of September, there is still a month to go to the CBA to start, at present the major clubs are waiting for the news of the CBA company, in fact, it is too late to find foreign aid. At present, there are six super foreign players who have voluntarily left the CBA, namely Motelyunas, Manny Harris, Radulica, Nicholson, Moore, and Franklin.
Motai Yunas played for the Xinjiang men's basketball team last season and chose to join the French AS Monaco team in the offseason. Motai Yunas is an old acquaintance of the CBA, who has also played for Shandong and Shanghai, and has shown a high professionalism in the Xinjiang team and won the recognition of Adi Jiang. The Xinjiang team had a hard time finding a suitable foreign aid and left, coupled with Zhou Qi's departure, the Xinjiang team was too difficult next season.
Manny Harris, a young foreign player who played for Shandong last season, went to the Greek league AKE team in the offseason. Harris only played 22 games in Shandong last season, averaging 22.1 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists per game, and was cut by Gong Xiaobin in the middle, in fact, Harris's personal ability is very strong, but it is not suitable for Shandong team.
Last season, he played for Radulica of Zhejiang Guangsha and joined Goyang in the South Korean League in the offseason. Radulica averaged 23.6 points, 10.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game in Guangsha last season, which is not bad offensively, but the defense is completely absent. Radulica is older and has difficulty gaining a foothold in Europe, but still chooses the Asian arena, and the overall level of the Korean league is not as good as that of the CBA.
Nicholson, who played for Hokkien last season, also played in the Korean league in the offseason. Some time ago in the Olympic Games lost, Nicholson represented the Canadian men's basketball team, played against the Chinese men's basketball team, Nicholson said on personal social media: Met the CBA friends, I wish them good luck in the next game.

One of the CBA's top small foreign players, Dallas Moore, brought Guangzhou into the playoffs last season, and had 55 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists in the first round of the playoffs. In the offseason this year, Guangzhou expressed the idea of renewing Moore's contract, but Moore felt that the CBA was full of many uncertainties and finally decided to return to his old club, the Ligue 1.
Franklin, one of the most familiar foreign players in China, played in the CBA for seven seasons, but left the CBA this offseason to join the Kazan Yonex. Franklin's dedication to leaving the CBA is a loss for Chinese basketball.
If Yao Ming does not finalize the final plan and continues to hesitate, then Weems, Hudson, Adams and other foreign aides will leave the CBA.
