China Basketball

The papers are reporting that NBA players who signed with teams in China due to the lockout are regretting it. The lockout is over in the states, so these players now want to come back to their big salaries. The problem is they signed contracts that said they would stay in China and play out the season. Additionally, the Chinese teams are required to forfeit their season if any of their players leave and play in the NBA. The Chinese would have to sign a documenting allowing them to return to the states and play, which they are not going to do. Essentially they are being held to their contract.

The question is why are they trying so hard to get out of these contracts? There are reports of faked injuries, missing practice, and generally being difficult, from players trying to get out, but ethically, these guys have a responsibility to fulfill their contract. Why can't these guys just suck it up and play out their contract and then go back to the states next year. Seriously, their being babies.
