Metta World Peace headed to China to play for CBA's Sichuan Blue Whales

Last night Metta World Peace hinted on Twitter he was going to take his talents to China -- the land of aging NBA stars. 

We now know the destination, thanks to ESPN's Ian Begley: The artist formerly known as Ron Artest will suit up for the Sichuan Blue Whales of the Chinese Basketball Association this fall. 

World Peace, drafted by the Bulls in 1999, has also played for the Pacers, Kings, Rockets, Lakers and Knicks. His played a crucial role on the 2010 Lakers championship team.

The 34-year-old made headlines recently when he roughed up two street ballers on the courts of Venice Beach.
