Bonzi Wells signed..... for 40 g's.... by a chinese team.

[aubstuh86]

was wondering where the hell this dude was. Bonzi still has game... wonder why nba teams refuse to sign him.

Xinhua, China's official governmental press agency, is reporting that Bonzi Wells signed a one-year contract worth roughly $40,000 to play for Shanxi Zhongyu of the Chinese Basketball Association.

You must be desperate for some burn + cash if you're willing to play for only 40 g's. I can make more than that working at a restaurant

. Good luck to Bonzi.

 

[its all good baby baby]

hell, i'd play for 40 g's.

 

[franchise3]

Wow

 

[licensed to ball]

He's probably going to beast

gonna look like jordan out there

 

[bjamez20]

wasnt dude doing well just a couple years ago?

 

[kiddin like jason]

Don't re-sign Bonzi, but sign Sean Marks.

 

[i nasmatic i]

I bet he's regretting turning down that $36M offer from the Kings a few years back...

 

[jpzx]

I'm surprised he couldn't get more than that..don't overseas teams pay big $ for players that have had NBA experience even if it was only a littleexperience?

 

[you big dummy]

This really doesn't make any sense to me.

Why isn't he playing in the league? Was he banned from the NBA or something? It seems like he just disappeared and there's been no mention of him atall this season.

And then to go overseas and only play for 40k? Something isn't right?

 

[kingjay718]

Sad. He was hopin' he'd score a huge pay day, after that monster playoff series against the Spurs in 2006.

 

[jville819]

Something doesn't seem right. Bonzi could easily play in the NBA, hell he could probably start or be the 6th man on some teams.

 

[senorroboto2k5]

People probably just don't wanna deal with him. It just so happens all teams didn't want to deal with him all at once. He can still probably make ateam if they pay attention to him.

 

[mjdalegend]

Dang, this dude can't make the NBA vet minimum and has to resort to this? wow.

[acbboyz84]

hes still a moron for that, played well and was about to get paid but though he was worth more.

 

[japanair21]

Really? No team wants to sign him for 100k?


Something's fishy.

 

[misterp0315]

Looks like he's been blacklisted or something...

You can't tell me people like Kevin Ollie are still getting PT and Bonzi Wells isn't even in the league.

Bonzi bought everybody at the bar Goose shots last time I saw him at a party at Ball State for their homecoming. Cool dude.

That explains a lot.

 

[kingjay718]

Yo, he played with one of the best teams in the NBA last season (Hornets), and gave them quality production. And to go from that, to this? Wow. From thepenthouse, to the outhouse.

I was just wondering with this cat has been the other day too. Go figure

 

[dyyhard]

[ac4three]

Seriously?

 

[sole investigator]

Man, I remember the days back when he played with the Jail Blazers with Sheed, Zach Randolph, Damon Stoudamire, Ruben Patterson...those were the days lol.
