Wang's Mav days likely over

Dwain Price of the Star-Telegram reports that Wang Zhi Zhi’s career as a Dallas Maverick is likely over. The tension created by Wang’s refusal to report to the Chinese National Team this summer has all but forced the Mavericks to sever ties with the 7-foot-1 restricted-free-agent center.

"Wang doesn't want to leave Dallas, but there's a 99 percent chance he's going to leave," Wan’s advisor, Simon Chan said. "For the sake of the Mavericks' relationship with China, they may let him go." Chan said he believes in the next five to 10 days, the Mavericks will work out a sign-and-trade and ship Wang to either the Golden State Warriors, New York Knicks, Toronto Raptors or Orlando Magic. Chan also said Wang has no plans to defect to the United States.
