D-League international?

Found this quote off cnnsi.com buried on the third page:


A new idea that has recently emerged has been to expand the Development League to other countries. "We've had more than one inquiry about the idea of the NBA D-League having international franchises, with their lower cost, lower payroll, but highly entertaining U.S.-style game presentations,'' said Stern, who appeared particularly intrigued by the prospect. Sounds like we may be hearing more about that down the road.

Very interesting...

Re: D-League international?

This is ridiculous, I'm starting to wonder if Stern is just looking at the N V B A page and stealing our ideas.

You gonna call it the C-League too Dave?

Re: D-League international?

I didn't really read it, but who are they going to but on these international d-league teams? I can't imagine many of the decent international players playing for an international d-league team for 30/40k in USD where many of them could probably make six figures on an international team. Maybe I'm wrong.

That is what I was thinking.

Re: D-League international?

Many D-League players will be on NBA contracts making NBA minimums. We can only hope if they do this they pay the remaining players. Time will tell but I'm highly skeptical.

Re: D-League international?

This idea won't work. They might as well as full euro teams if they want to play in a league together
