I'm not sure about going back to china and retrying the NBA again. I think milwaukee retains his NBA rights forever.

The Bucks retain his rights for one year. As long as he doesn't play pro ball anywhere else he can enter the draft again next season.
That's why I don't have an issue with what he is doing. He is playing by the rules that are in place and he isn't doing anything that hasn't been done before (although very rarely). He just happens to be foreign. Actually, a few years ago one of Orlando's picks told them he wasn't reporting, so he isn't even the first foreigner to pull this. If you don't like where you get drafted you have the right to walk away from the money and not play....
Chum...good point about college kids being able to go back to school if they don't like where they were picked.
