As of Wednesday morning, Lawson has yet to sign with the Chinese team.
His agent, Larry Fox, told HoopsHype that Lawson is still weighing his options.
“Several teams have expressed interest in Ty from China and there have been discussions and Ty has expressed mutual interest.
“In addition, several NBA teams are interested in Ty, Ty is weighing his options and no decision has yet been made.”
Lawson played 69 games with the Kings last season, averaging 9.9 points and 4.8 dimes off the bench.
