Pooh Jeter close to an extension with Shandong Lions

The road that separates Pooh Jeter and Turkish team Galatasaray is now too long. The point guard is coming back to China to finalize a contract extension with Chinese team Shandong Lions for the fourth consecutive season, source told Sportando.

At the end of the CBA, Pooh Jeter's contract expired and GM for Shandong declared not to have the intention to keep him because of his age, but in the last days he suddenly changed his mind and started to work on an extension that now is very close.

Jeter is absolutely respected and considered like a leader in China. He will sign another important contract and will try to push the team to the CBA playoffs.
