I'm curious; how much money does Stevie / Euro players make? Does a contract with Iowa Energy pay more?

I dont even think its close, you can make great money overseas if you can stand to live there. The D league and others like it over here pay very little. You'd pretty much have to have another job to pay the bills.

I'm not sure how much Stevie is making but I know Homan made 180k-200k his first couple years in Europe. I don't think NBDL players make more than 60k(probably less) unless there are under contract with a pro team.

Unless Stevie has a longing desire to move back to the US / Iowa, I can't see why he'd want to take that much of a pay cut..........Then again, if he's still dating Tracy Gahan, I don't blaming him for moving (PS: I thought she was playing in Australia, or some thing like that).

D League players don't even make more than $25,000 from the people I have talked to that are close to players.

If the NBA ever wants the best talent NOT in the NBA to play in the D-League they are going to HAVE to offer development contracts and have the big teams pay the players...
