No more the arrangements for the meeting.
Even if the problem solves promptly, is a 2011-12 NBA season, chandler and Smith can't return to the NBA's China's
last season, through march.
"J.r. really want to play basketball this season," agent Leon rose told the Associated Press on Wednesday.
So, Smith signed a one-year contract in zhejiang, squad the same province chandler is heading to but not the same
team.
"His decision is based on accept the deal for the uncertainty, a significant support from labor negotiations NBA club
and unique opportunity, he likes to play the game in a different country, love their basketball," rose wrote in an E-
mail. "J.r. looking forward to the new challenge."

Now that the door is open — and an NBA season seems ever more uncertain with talks going nowhere this week — there
may be a steady stream of players, possibly even some big names, following the likes of Chandler and Smith overseas.
"The entire league is going to go through quite an adjustment with all of these players, whether they're going to Asia
or Europe or whether they're staying in the states to play pickup or work out," said Chandler's agent, Chris Luchey.
"It's an unfortunate adjustment. But what's the best way to take advantage of this unfortunate situation?"
Luchey said Chandler, 24, needs China more than established stars do.
"I understand some of your super-elite guys like Carmelo and LeBron making decisions to kind of just play pickup.
They're further along in their careers, their games are fully established. Their place in history has been
established," Luchey said.
"Wilson's game is developing, his best basketball is ahead of him and so he improves with play. For him, having more
of a rigorous schedule in China, playing three games a week, seems more realistic. That's what he was looking for."
And by being the first one to bolt, Chandler had his pick of teams. Last month, Chandler, a restricted free agent,
signed with Zhejiang Guangsha to play for former NBA coach Jim Cleamons.
"Wilson's playing for the only NBA coach that's over there," Luchey said. "He's going to a beautiful city, a tourist
city, playing on a good team. He basically had all the options to pick and choose the best scenario, best situation
for him — be the trendsetter."
