Dwyane Wade could see himself and other NBA stars eyeing an overseas contract if the lockout drags on, just like New Jersey's Deron Williams.

Williams was discussing a deal with Turkish team Besiktas, and Wade says he'd consider playing in Europe at some point if the situation is not settled.

The Miami Heat guard spoke Friday at a suburban high school where he and Chicago Bears star Devin Hester were running basketball and football camps the past two days.

Like Wade, Hester is locked out, and with practices scheduled to begin July 23, the clock is ticking. The Bears would report to training camp a week earlier than most because they're playing St. Louis in the Hall of Fame game Aug. 7 in Canton, Ohio.
