Hand Row posted:There's what like 5 teams left without a D league team now so it is just a matter of time before it can function like a true minor league system. There are 25 d league teams set up for next season, up 6 teams from two years ago. The market is pretty much saturated. e What is a "true" minor league? Who says baseball is the model everyone should follow?

The Baseball model involves thousands of players who never have a chance at sniffing the majors having an insane work schedule where the travel 3-6 days a week and barely getting paid a living wage, if that.

Sure but that doesn't mean the system will translate to another sport. The NBA does not need a minor league to produce and develop talent, it survived without an associated minor league for decades. There is no reason to assume that the market will support additional minor league basketball teams, as basketball is a much more star-driven sport, and there are no stars and few prospects with name value in the current d league. If the market cannot support additional minor league basketball team means that NBA teams will have to support them financially and most current teams are not willing to do that. The current system where teams that are willing can own a d league team, and those that aren't, don't. Forcing the latter teams to buy a minor team in a market that probably won't support the team, just to model itself after baseball's successful minor league system, does not seem like a guaranteed win to me..

You don't need to have guys play for 3 or 4 years to figure out if they have pro-level talent like you do in Baseball. Players also develop faster playing against high level talent in the NBA vs MLB. They are very different sports, and the development curve is very different. You don't have an MLB style minor league in NBA because there isn't nearly the need for it. On top of that, you already have college ball competing against you, which you don't have to nearly the extent in baseball.

I think the difference between a d-league talent and a nba talent is the same as a d-league talent and an average joe. But even with that huge skill difference there are still a bunch of d-leaguers in the NBA playing meaningful minutes right now. You're right that the NBA doesn't need more tiers of talent because the sad thing is that guys who don't show the ability to ball out by the time they're 12 in AAU probably aren't sniffing the NBA. Those other guys end up as NCAA bench depth or euro/middle eastern players. What I think the NBA should have is a better hand in AAU but then that would barely put us above the ethical level of FIFA.

Minor league baseball is more than a century old and yet is still subsidized by major league teams, for one reason, baseball is a game of skill. It takes a billion reps to be able to hit major league pitching and a million to throw past major league pitching. The g (for Gay, which is good, in obamas america??   (just kidding)) has produced backup point guards and some end of rotation bigs and a few primary backups. I think its most important role is will be to serve as a showcase for undrafted college players who've honed their craft in europe. They can come to the Santa Anita Aliens for a season and crush everyone, get their 10 days, keep working, and make NBA teams.Jack's Flow posted:Lebron is still the best. I feel utterly vindicated. A better editor would have changed 'stalled out pistons' to 'seized up pistons' but that's a quibble. He touches on everything. The team being much better with Ish ( I cant shoot yall) Smith than Reggie (My knees are completely hosed ) Jackson. Because of ball movement and because Reggie seemingly is physically unable to play any role on defense. Drummond not intuitively playing defense. Stanley Johnson (but not his hair). A really good piece and worth a read if you're wondering why the pistons are poo poo instead of the 5th or 6th seed like they were supposed to be. To all the pistons blog commenters who doubted my analysis and obviously can't read this, gently caress you, to all of those of you who've supported me, I love you and Blessings to your family Dejan Bimble fucked around with this message at 20:39 on Feb 15, 2017 |

This would be awesome, and on the surface it could prevent Sixer style tanking, but I don't think it could work because of the NBA draft...

Bottom 3 teams get relegated, rest of teams out of playoffs get in the lottery. Top 3 promoted teams locked in to picks 4/5/6

Your inability to recognize James' level of talent is stunning. It's not like he tries this 3 times a game and always misses. He saw a chance, he took it, and it worked.

My understanding is a big part of the issue with the D-league is that they have trouble staying afloat because of attendance issues. Is that still an issue or do the NBA affiliated ones stay alive because of the big club?
