Everything you say is accurate. I don't think the NBA wants to further develop a minor league system figuring it will be profitable. I think they may want to do it to develop players. They know most of these players want nothing to do with college. With the draft strategy of going with young potential over older polished players, it makes sense to have a place to develop them. If each team had their own farm team, the parent organization could have greater control over how guys are coached and style of play. A fringe talent guy ball hogs in the hopes of getting noticed? Cut him. A guy won't buy into defense, assuming the franchise cares about that? Cut him. Right now, unless I'm mistaken, there are no parent teams, and, therefore, no control. It's too much of a free for all. That won't make people want to watch more, but at least franchises won't have rookies wasting away on the bench or going to a g-league team hoping he'll get the coaching he wants.
