Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 2095953, member: 652"] The D league will never be like minor league baseball. Minor league baseball is a niche during the summer when there are no other sports but soccer playing. The D league won't matter because it won't make money thus teams aren't going invest it as much as they if they could make money. In baseball it takes years to become a big leaguer. No real prospect would go to the D league than the NBA. The D league is all projects. Now it does have value because it allows fringe NBA players the place to pursue their dream. I hope the league offers a livable wage and college players would go pro instead of making college basketball a one year sport. The fact players like Billy Owens, Derrick Coleman, Alonzo Mourning, Dikembe Mutombo, Shaquille O'Neal, Penny Hardaway, Chris Webber, all played atleast 2 years of college hoops before going pro is laughable.
