Wolves @kevinlove tells @YahooSports he will be making a decision over "the next couple of days" on whether to sign with Turkey Besiktas.

Wiretap say Besiktas is trying to sign deng as well. Deron Deng and Love, I would think that team would be hard to stop. Especially with how well suited Love is for the Euro game.

I'd like to see Love sign with Partizan so he and Pek could beast together.

Isn't there a limit on how many NBA players can be on 1 Euro team? I thought I read something about that but maybe I'm wrong.

With the way Pek beasts in Europe it would definitly be fun to watch. I also thought there was a limit on foreign players to Europe playing on there teams. Maybe they are looking at Deng or Love and not both. I would like to see Ricky and Love go play for Barcelona during the lockout.

In the league my brother played in, it was two foreign players per team. I'm guessing Deng is a backup plan in case Love declines.

What's sad is Besiktas would have a better core to their team than the Wolves...

I believe the limit is for non-european players. So Deng is fine since he's british.

This might make me follow the European game a little more, I wouldn't mind watching some of our players play overseas.

Besiktas has 5 foreigners right now, 4 Americans and a Serb.
I dont know about TBL foreign player limit, i bet it exist, but most of the times, foreign player limit is not about how many players team has, but its about how many foreigners are registered in one game.

One of the americans, Ersan Dagli (formerly Edwin Dudley) has turkish citizenship.

OK - is the rule "foreigners" or is the rule "non-europeans?"

Also, I think if Love goes over to Besiktas, Deron Williams is probably not worried about losing his job, but David Hawkins might want to make sure his passport is up to date.

Dang NBA players, .. foreigners stealing jobs.

Oh, Ersan Dagli... So ok, 4 foreighners. It should be foreigners, not non Europeans, but I just guessing that. European union countries support globalization process and everything, so in some EU country leagues, EU citizens are not considered as a foreigners, but Turkey is not European union country, so it should have simple and old fashion foreign player limit i guess.
