Yi Jianlian has signed a two-year contract with the Guangdong Southern Tigers, the club announced.

Jianlian's deal does not contain an NBA out clause, meaning he will not be let out until 2015.

The Southern Tigers won the Chinese championship last season.

Jianlian was the sixth overall pick of the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2007 NBA draft.

Yakhouba Diawara’s contract with BCM Gravelines of Eurocup will be a one-year deal without an NBA out clause, a source told RealGM.

RealGM first reported on Monday that Diawara was expecting to sign with a club in the Eurocup this week. Diawara’s reasoning to join BCM Gravelines without an NBA opt out is to focus on competing for the league’s championship.

After his third season in Italy, Diawara had returned to his offseason home in Miami this summer and received workouts with NBA teams. Diawara, 31, played four seasons in the NBA, spending two seasons with both the Denver Nuggets and Miami Heat.

Diawara came into the NBA in 2006, following a collegiate career at Pepperdine.

Hamed Haddadi is mulling proposals to play in China or the NBA next season.

Jackie Carmichael has signed a one-year contract with Bilbao Basket of the Spanish ACB.

Carmichael went undrafted after a standout career at Illinois State University. He played with the Dallas Mavericks in summer league.

Carmichael decided to sign in Spain amid mulling over NBA interest.

Yakhouba Diawara – the free agent who garnered interest out of NBA teams this summer – expects to sign a contract with a Eurocup club this week, a source told RealGM.

Diawara still will work out for the Miami Heat on Tuesday and the Orlando Magic on Wednesday, a league source told RealGM. For Diawara, the only incentive that would keep him from signing with the Eurocup team is a guaranteed deal in the NBA.

Diawara had been considering potential options in the NBA and overseas from his offseason home in Miami, but signing in Europe emerged in recent weeks as the most likely outcome. At 6-foot-7, Diawara has always exhibited tantalizing length to go with athleticism and a defensive mindset.

After a standout college run with Pepperdine, Diawara, 31, entered the NBA in 2006 with the Nuggets, playing two seasons in Denver. He signed a multi-year deal with the Heat in 2008, but the French forward was released in 2010 and has played in Italy over the past three seasons.

Justin Dentmon will play for BC Zalgiris Kaunas this season after agreeing to a free agent deal with the team.

Demetris Nichols agreed to terms with Krasnie Krilya on Tuesday, his agent confirmed.

"We had interest from a couple teams,'' Bill Neff said. “It's a very good team and a good situation for him.''

Nichols will team with former Kansas Jayhawks point guard Aaron Miles in the Krasnie backcourt.

"He's as good a point guard as there is,'' Neff said. “We've found that with D-Nic when he has a good point guard, his numbers go up dramatically.''

Nichols played for the Bucks in the Las Vegas Summer League.

Chris Wilcox's primary goal is to return to the NBA for next season, but the veteran big man is also open to giving consideration to heading overseas.

“I am open to going overseas,” Wilcox said. “At the same time, I would love to stay here in the NBA. If it’s something that I have to do, then I’ll do it.”

It is unlikely Wilcox will return to the Boston Celtics.
