Has the recent signing of Dwight Howard with the Taoyuan Leopards given any ideas? This is obviously the case since in recent days, several rumors announce that Taiwanese teams dream of former glories of the NBA, currently without a club.
For starters, Carmelo Anthony was mentioned on the Tainan TSG GhostHawks side. The club would have the green light to try to recruit the former Denver and New York.
Then our colleague Mark Stein now delivers the names of two other players: Isaiah Thomas and Enes Freedom. Taiwan teams are reportedly interested in signing the two former Celtics.
No doubt Carmelo Anthony still has hopes for the NBA, he who still averaged 13.3 points last season alongside LeBron James in Los Angeles. Isaiah Thomas too, but it is more difficult to consider because, for four years, he has multiplied the freelances of a few matches, without ever managing to win.
As for Enes Freedom, formerly known as Enes Kanter, he himself admitted that his future in the NBA, but also in Europe, was blocked after his (highly publicized and sometimes controversial) political positions in recent years.
An Asian track is therefore much more possible, but not in China obviously, the Turk having heavily criticized the Chinese regime and its repression of the Uyghurs, the Muslim minority in the country.
