According to a report by Hoopsworld, Atlanta free agent power forward Josh Powell has signed on with Liaoning of the Chinese Basketball Association. The report also states that there is no opt-out clause so Powell will be locked in with his Chinese team for the duration of the season no matter what the outcome of the lockout.
Forward Josh Powell signed a one-year contract to play with Liaoning of the Chinese Basketball Association. Powell appeared in 54 games with the Atlanta Hawks last season, averaging 4.2 points and 2.5 rebounds. He does not have an opt-out clause in his contract, so the 28-year-old Powell cannot return to the NBA when the lockout ends.
Atlanta has quite a few openings on its bench currently and it is not known whether or not they were considering Powell. While his contributions on the court my have been limited, Powell was regarded as a strong locker room presence.

Powell is the worst NBA player?
Powell has the right mindset and skillset of a 4 but not the physical tools to be a great backup.
I think he’s consistently ranked the worst player in the NBA and Ws/48 agrees over the years.
Even though I dont like PER much that # would pretty much agree.
In 1957, the team advanced to the Finals, losing to the Boston Celtics in a double-overtime thriller in game seven. In 1958, the Hawks again advanced to the NBA Finals where they avenged their previous year's defeat against the Boston Celtics, winning the series 4-2. Bob Pettit scored 50 points in Game 6 in front of a crowd of 10,218 in St. Louis. The victory gave the Hawks their first and only NBA Championship.
Please sign a multi year extension there
In fact hopefully whatever team he signed with hires Larry Drew as head coach so he can give him undeserving minutes to his heart’s content.
