According to domestic media reports, Liaoning, Guangzhou and Tongxi have reached a blockbuster deal. Liaoning sent dynasty hero Guo Ailun to Guangzhou and got Wang Lanyi on loan (for a three-year period), while Tongxi got Zhu Mingzhen. According to reports, Guo Ailun has no decision-making power in this transaction. After the transaction, Liaoning player Zhang Zhenlin posted "...", seeming to express his helplessness.

Since being promoted to the Liaoning first team in 2010, Guo Ailun has made outstanding achievements and has been selected into the All-Star lineup as a starter 10 times. In 2018, 2022, 2023, and 2024, Guo Ailun won four CBA championships with the Liaoning team. In fact, as early as the summer of 2022, there seems to have been a rift between Guo Ailun and Liaoning. According to Xinhua News Agency reports at the time, Guo Ailun made a trade request to the Liaoning Men’s Basketball Management through the economic team.

Last season, Guo Ailun was troubled by injuries and only played 3 games as a substitute for Liaoning. He averaged 19.3 minutes per game and scored 8.7 points, 2.3 rebounds and 4 assists. After a long period of recuperation, Guo Ailun, who has returned to health, is still the top defender in the CBA and has the ability to compete for the championship. But looking at his new club Guangzhou team, the team's state does not seem to match Guo Ailun's goals.

In the past season, there were reports that Guangzhou was experiencing operational difficulties. In the middle of the season, Guangzhou traded Li Yanzhe. Although they eventually made it to the playoffs, the future direction of their operations is almost certain. During this offseason, Guangzhou’s main lineup was gradually hollowed out. Among the core lineup, Zhu Mingzhen has joined Tongxi, Chen Yingjun is about to play for Beijing in the new season, and Guo Kai, Jia Mingru and Tian Yuheng have also left the team. At the same time, the promising Cui Yongxi is working hard to realize his NBA dream, and the soul figure Guo Shiqiang is in charge of the national team. In the new season, Guangzhou is not competitive in the playoffs, and the script for the "uncle and nephew" reunion cannot be written.

Domestic media mentioned in reports that the management of Guangzhou Longshi will meet with Guo Ailun in the future to discuss follow-up matters of the transaction, which may become the key to determining Guo Ailun's future ownership. In short, based on the current lineup configuration of Guangzhou Long-Lions, combined with Guo Ailun's abilities and goals, there is still a big question mark as to whether he will cooperate with Long-Lions for a long time and whether Guangzhou will retain his signing rights.
