"A third free agent who played for the Nuggets last season is in serious talks to play in China.

Kenyon Martin has received significant interest from two professional teams in the Chinese Basketball Association, which would make him the highest-paid player in the history of that league, a source said Friday.

The 17-team CBA will not allow players to opt out of contracts should the NBA season begin before the Chinese season ends. The NBA is currently in a labor lockout."
