Marreese Speights is close to a deal with the CBA's Guangzhou Long Lions.
It had been reported earlier in the offseason that Speights was weighing offers from China, and a potentially tough market for lower-tier free agents probably made his decision easier. Mo Buckets should put up huge numbers overseas and try for a comeback next summer when there's more cash to spend. Teams will have time for a big who can hit threes, even if Speights is an end-of-bench player.
