One of the other provisions of the new NBA collective bargaining agreement is the expansion of the NBADL from 8 to 16 teams. Each team would be associated with two NBA teams so they would be able to send their players down in order to gain experience in a minor league. Think what this would've done for Darko of the Pistons or Ndudi Ebi of the T-wolves. This would allow them to get meaningful playing time in a game situation rather than being practice squad warriors that are constantly plagued by "knee tendinitis". In addition the league has eliminate the injured list and expanded rosters to 15 players, of which 12 may be eligible for any game. Players can be moved back and forth at will, thus allowing for better game management.

Of course this will create more opportunities for players.
