Last season, the Shanxi Men's Basketball Team secured a second-place finish in the regular season and third-place finish in the playoffs by acquiring significant foreign players, effectively disrupting the CBA championship race. This offseason, many teams are actively bolstering their foreign roster, with Guangdong and Liaoning both pursuing high-paying players like Sullinger, demonstrating the impact that a star foreign player can have on a team. According to a recent report by media personality "Half-God Half-Carter," "Reliable sources have revealed that former NBA lottery pick center Mohamed Bamba has received a substantial offer from a CBA club, exceeding $3 million before taxes." Previous reports have also indicated that Bamba has received interest from several European teams. The CBA team's offer of over $3 million per year before taxes is intended to compete with European teams for the player. If the signing is successful, it could potentially disrupt the CBA championship race.

The CBA's foreign player salary cap for the new season is $4.25 million. This offer for Bamba represents over 70% of the cap. However, the CBA's foreign player salary cap is a soft cap and can be exceeded, but any excess is subject to an adjustment fee, similar to the NBA's luxury tax.

Bamba was the sixth overall pick in the 2018 NBA draft. Standing 6'13" and playing center, he entered the NBA alongside Dončić and Ayton. He has played for the Magic, Lakers, 76ers, Clippers, and Pelicans. Over his seven-year NBA career, Bamba played in 364 regular-season games, averaging 6.8 points and 5.4 rebounds in 16.8 minutes per game, shooting 47.7% from the field and 35.6% from three-point range. His best season was with the Magic, where he averaged 10.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, 1.7 blocks, and 1.2 assists per game, shooting 48% from the field and 38% from three-point range.

Bamba possesses exceptional physical talent, but has yet to prove himself in the NBA. After being released by the New Orleans Pelicans, he is currently a free agent. His playing style is highly versatile, with excellent rim protection and rebounding. Offensively, however, Bamba's NBA performance has been less than ideal. He hasn't been able to reach his full potential, finishing inconsistently around the rim and preferring to stretch out to the perimeter, where his three-point shooting is also poor. Last season, playing for the Clippers and Pelicans, Bamba averaged only 4.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 1 block in 12.8 minutes per game, shooting 46.4% from the field and 27.8% from three-point range. His decline from the NBA was unsurprising.

Although Bamba hasn't fully realized his potential in the NBA, given his ability and performance, he could definitely establish himself in the CBA, averaging a dominant 20 points and 15 rebounds per game. Judging from the strength of the CBA teams, only four teams—the Beijing Ducks, Shanxi Men's Basketball Team, and Shanghai Men's Basketball Team—have the potential to sign Bamba. Let's wait and see.
