After Giannis Bourousis, one more EuroLeague star is leaving for China. Keith Langford who parted ways with Unics Kazan is expected to be a member of the Shenzhen Leopards.

Bourousis was in talks with the team of Lithuanian coach Jonas Kazlauskas, however according to the latest reports he ended up in the Zhejiang Guangsha Lions with a two year deal which is worth a total of $5 million.

Langford is expected to get a similar deal but for one season, which will pay him $2,2 million. It’s one more proof that China has become a viable option for EuroLeague stars, who get paid more than Europe and on the same time have to compete in a shorter season in a league with modest competition by local talent.

After all even an established but aging international star like Louis Scola decided to sign in the Chinese CBA next season.
