Basaeball is so different from basketball that you can't make comparisons.  First of all there are 176 minor league teams assoicated with major league teams.  That includes short season (2 months) to 142 game AAA league.  Then there you have 40 man rosters for each major league team (25 guys in the majors and 15 in the minors) who are paid by the MLB team.  Each minor legue team is owned not by the major league team but by individuals/groups who pay for everything but the salaries.     Then there is the movement between the minors and the majors.  for example the Rochester AAA team affiliated with the Twins has already had over 30 roster changes and it isn't even June yet.  Can you see the NBA doing something like that?  In the majors just about every one of the 25 on the roster play periodicaly.  How often does the 12th man on an NBA roster play?  How ofet do the rosters change at all.   Will the NBA teams have liek an 18 man roster with 6 playing in the developmental legues?  All these things with MLB has evolved over decades, I doubt that the NBA is going to figure it out in a year or 2.
