Curry, Wright Open To Playing Abroad

Jul 15, 2011 10:24 AM

Warriors point guard Stephen Curry and forward Dorell Wright said they are considering playing overseas if the NBA lockout extends into the season. Neither has a deal in place or a destination set in stone, but they could end up in the same location.

"China is looking promising," Curry said via text message. "There's no deal yet on the table, but my agent is going to entertain offers and see what happens. If it works, I'll go."

Wright said China would be his first choice. He has an endorsement deal with Peak, a Chinese basketball shoe company.

"I would definitely like to play in China," Wright said via text. "But I'm open to other options. I'm going to China for a week (in August), so I'll definitely see how it is."

Agent: Chinese Leagues Will Offer Most Lucrative Contracts

Jul 12, 2011 10:27 AM

Octagon agent Lance Young, whose clients include Memphis Grizzlies forward Rudy Gay and Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry, said some of his players would take a wait-and-see approach.

"If a lockout keeps going, a guy like Stephen might go over for a little while," Young said.

"The biggest money is China, hands down," Young said. "You can make almost double in China what you can in Europe. The Chinese league isn't as good of a league. But if it's all about money, you might as well go over there and make as much money as you can."

The Chinese season doesn't start until December, and teams recruit in September and October.
