People do realize that there are thousands of US players in foreign leagues, don't they? Matt Gorman played 6 years overseas till injuries forced him to retire. Brandon Reese, a walk on played overseas. Elvir Ovcina is in his 2nd decade playing European basketball. I know 2 kids from a local high school, Ludden who played overseas, one played D2 ball and is currently in his 6th year over there. 2 graduating Lemoyne players this year, Nate Champion and Jim Janson both plan on playing overseas. Here's a site dedicated to D3 (yes D3 players), NAIA players who are playing overseas.

Some players just don't make the huge adjustment to play overseas - they get homesick etc and some just aren't that dedicated to basketball to make it work.  If players have other options , are married etc - many opt to stay stateside not go over seas nor live a nomadic lifestyle in a foreign county and decide to just start their post basketball lives. I have no doubt that Baye with his motor could play overseas somewhere but with his personality, work ethic I'm certain he will have other options to weigh before making his decision. Playing basketball overseas won't be his only option to make a decent living  - just like Keuth Duany.
