Toure had 5 points in 10 minutes in todays game. The rest of his stat line was empty, except for 1 turnover.

If he would be third on the depth roster on a deep bench, I can see his hesitation. He tore it up in the D-League (well his team did anyway, I don't know about his individual stats), so he might have reasonably higher expectations for now.Kung Wu say, man who read woman like book, prefer braille!Comment

I'm pretty sure the salary differential between a third string guy in the NBA and a starter in the D-League is massive.Originally posted by Kung Wu View Post
If he's hesitating, hopefully it's because he has others interested. I would think he'd have a better shot at proving himself once he's on an NBA roster than in the D-League.Originally posted by BleacherReportComment

The hesitation definitely isn't between D-League or A-League. It's A-League - Knicks vs A-League - Other or A-League Knicks vs Foreign League Money. No doubt about it. I hope it's A-League - Other giving him some interest based on his performance with the D-League team.Originally posted by Rlh04d View PostKung Wu say, man who read woman like book, prefer braille!Comment

From the article, "…his hesitance to accept the team's invitation suggests there are others who regard him highly. He could have an offer from an overseas team that involves guaranteed money that he's reluctant to pass up, though that's just my speculation."Livin the dreamComment

Let's hope it's more attractive looks from the NBA though!Originally posted by wufan View PostKung Wu say, man who read woman like book, prefer braille!Comment

Sounds like he is carefully weighing his options and is taking his time to make the right decision. I'm sure all of us are behind him no matter which direction he goes.Comment

Regardless of Toure's choice, he is in a good place right now and stands to make a lot of money next year no matter where he plays. Major sports aren't just an American thing anymore.Comment

I don't think the Knicks would be a bad place for him. It might be a third string role, but the Knicks don't have superstars at the point. Even if he starts in the #3 position, he can move up. He might make more money in Europe, but if the dream is the NBA ... gotta start somewhere.Originally posted by Kung Wu View PostOriginally posted by BleacherReportComment

Toure wouldn't have played in the D League last year if he didn't have his sights on the NBA. I can't see him going to Europe when the NBA is the ultimate goal.Comment

Agreed. He could have made way more money in Europe last year, and chose to play in the D-League so he could make an NBA roster. I don't see him now choosing Europe right when he looks to have a spot on an NBA roster available.Originally posted by Dan View PostOriginally posted by BleacherReportComment

I think the minimum NBA salary is around $500k.Originally posted by Downtown Shocker Brown View Post
You can do better than that in Europe, but it's not common, and I'm not sure anyone after one year of D-League ball gets better than that in Europe.Originally posted by BleacherReportComment
