Barcelona are planning an offer for point guard Will Bynum, as reported by L’Esportiu.

The Catalan side wanted Tyrese Rice but his current club Khimki are not letting him go.

So Barcelona is eyeing the situation around Bynum. The former Detroit Pistons and Boston Celtics star who ended the season in China and the principal danger to the success of the negotiation comes exactly from the Asian continent

In fact Bynum received a lucrative offer for a contract extension by Guangdong Southern Tigers.

When the last CBA season ended he told he would like to sign a multi-year deal to stay in China.

Last season with Guangdong he averaged 22.3 points, 3.6 rebounds and 7.1 assists per game, giving a solid defensive leadership to the team and pushing him to the longest winning streak in CBA history (26 consecutive games).
