[quote=""nksports""]On the sponsorship vs. attendance argument, allow me to come down on a more holistic approach. Many minor league teams (especially hockey and baseball), make money from sponsorships. Those teams also make money from attendance. The problem is it can be compare...

What the owners really want is for the union to save them from their own stupidity. Therefore, the union has to come up with a plan that both secures guaranteed contracts while at the same time prevents teams from making poor long term contract decisions. The both sides can win if the unions plan in...

I doubt it is the union, the owners want to keep a bad economic system in place, which is based on a salary cap. When the real problem is that rookie contracts are not long enough (they should be 7 instead of 5 years long) and they don't put enough resources into developing players (the D-league). W...

I think NBA teams should drop down to 10 man rosters and adopt a no foul out policy. Also, each team should be required to have a D-league affiliate with a 15 man roster for temporary services(replacing injured NBA players).

In my opinion the NBA is transitioning away from a league that develops youngsters to more of a second chance circuit or demotion league (see the T.Williams demotion). A number of nba assignee...

With the Skyforce waiving Holmes, Millsap and Smith today I've noticed a lot of former CBA players are not making the cut in D-league camps. It sure is getting harder and harder to make a D-league roster.

[quote=""Rim Rockers Play2Win""]Good Afternoon, Become I enjoy the humor :p however, I have already stated why we have chosen this route for the Texas Rim Rockers however I have asked this question before and nobody has answered it yet...Maybe you will? If you have a basketball t...

Hello, I have been trying to get my SE Central PA Eggplants franchise off the ground for a few years now. Which is also a "travel only" team, but I never thought about going the no leaque route. Nor did I think about paying players for home games "only". That Sir is pure genius. ...
