Joe MullinaxHOST
And if there were trades to be made involving end of bench guys and expiring money and snagging a couple of second round picks here and there, they would have probably already been made.
Joe MullinaxHOST
Right? Remember D'Angelo Russell? Now of the Shanghai Sharks, I believe it is out in China.
Joe MullinaxHOST
D'Angelo Russell was held on to by the Memphis Grizzlies for as long as they possibly could before training camp because they wanted to see if a trade would manifest.
Joe MullinaxHOST
Now look at the end of the Grizzlies roster.
GabrielHOST
Where does D load now play for? We spoke about him last week.
HumphreyHOST
Shanghai Sharks.
HumphreyHOST
Get ready to learn Chinese, buddy.
HumphreyHOST
[laughs] At this point, I need to get ready to learn Chinese.
Will WeirGUEST
Like it, who was at the top was a constantly moving target.
Will WeirGUEST
I mean, beginning of the season, going into, go, like at the very start of the season, we had a joke where we were like, "Yeah, it's just Jordan Walsh will be playing for the Shanghai Sharks next year."
Josh RodriguezHOST
[laughs]
Will WeirGUEST
He just got a contract extension in the off-season.
The Wonton DonHOST
Yeah.
The Wonton DonHOST
Um, and but that's kind of the origin to why I kind of wore shades in all my Donnie Does videos, 'cause it was right before I filmed my first Shanghai Sharks vid.
The Wonton DonHOST
And maybe before I filmed my first, like, uh, vid where I was in kindergarten teaching people Yankees suck.
The Wonton DonHOST

Yao MingSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I'm also willing to learn as much as I can about the sport.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Ming joined the Shanghai Sharks senior team, averaging 10 points and 8 rebounds per game.
speaker_0NARRATOR
During his rookie season, Nike representatives had heard about the Chinese giant, sending their people to watch Yao play and hoping that Ming would help them expand the market and sell millions of sneakers to the Chinese masses.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Per Nike's request, Dafeng pushed Shanghai's sports leaders to let Yao attend a 1997 Nike junior basketball camp in Paris.
speaker_0NARRATOR
That size advantage helped him increase his numbers to 21 points and 15 rebounds per game.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Ming helped the Sharks reach the CBA Finals, but they lost against the five-time defending champions Baye Rockets and their seven-foot center Wang Zhizhi, who was the leading scorer and the best player in the league.
speaker_0NARRATOR
During his third year as a professional, Yao and his family were approached by Li Yaomin, the deputy general manager of the Shanghai Sharks.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Li had set up a meeting for Yao with the representatives of Evergreen Sports Management, an American company that wanted to manage Yao.
Bennett DoyleHOST
Um, but as far as, like, the trajectory of both franchises, none of that matters to me if, if we're winning games.
Gary ParrishHOST
I, I think Caleb Wilson could maybe play for the Shanghai Sharks and you're gonna see more highlights [laughs] than, than, than you might see of some other people because he is a highlight machine that led-
Bennett DoyleHOST
For sure
Gary ParrishHOST

Jamal EllerbeHOST
Listen, he signed on for the Shanghai Sharks.
Jamal EllerbeHOST
He wants to get out there, get his legs right, get some reps going.
Jamal EllerbeHOST
And when the time is right, when December, you can sign a veteran.
Chris EmersonHOST
To answer your question, no.
Gabe AndersonHOST
How many points per game with the Shanghai Sharks next year?
Chris EmersonHOST
You know, it comes down to effort with him, as it always has.
Chris EmersonHOST
If he puts in effort, he could put up 45.
