The only positive about this for me is that I can cancel my NBA League Pass subscription...

He's done. His NBA career is over. He's kinda like a second Marbury, who got abandoned by NBA.
Wish him best of luck in China.

Can someone who follows the CBA closely break down how good his team is? and do they have a chance to win the title?

[color=#FF0000][size=200]LOL !!!![/size] 
[size=125]STILL DIRECTSH****T !!! 
The Beijing Capital Steel Ducks CRACKED and was FADED TEAM since the Stephon Marbury era.[/size][/color]
[size=125][color=#BF0000]If I was not mistaken, they did not make it to the Final 4 for the past 3 to 4 seasons.
And last season, they cracked in the quarter final to Shenzhen New Century Leopards after leading 3 ~ 1 in the playoff to end up crashing out 3 ~ 4.[/color]
[color=#FF0000]Personally think if the Beijing team can make it to the Final 4 this year, it will be already an achievement.[/color][/size]

Does Lin count against the 2 foreign players limit?

hate to say it, but I dont think he ever put in the necessary work to get to the next level. He didnt improve over the course of his professional career in any serious way. The offseason is when you get better, and my hunch is that he primarily worked out with his personal friend/trainer and not other NBA players and professional skills trainers. The offseason is crucial and spending several weeks in Asia without laser-like training is not going to cut it in today's guard rich league.
I hope he gets another chance at the NBA and pulls off another linsanity type feat cuz it's just depressing to see him donning a CBA jersey.

At least early in his career, he did put in a lot of work in the summer...shooting coaches, Mo Williams' summer camp, handling work with The Professor, etc. No question his left hand and his defense improved dramatically in those years. He stopped in the later years...once he was with the Nets, he was limited by his injury recovery, and of course had his Asia tours to keep him busy.

I guess after he injured during the Nets' season and said "I'm done!", NBA eventually lost interest of him.
He's also getting old. The average age of NBA players is 26 and he's 31 already. He's absolutely a veteran. He's more of a tutor than a backup for Young in Atlanta.
Remember Marbury left to CBA at age 31 too. He's about the same.

Phil’s comment on his later years suggests complacency
