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 sounds good in theory, MN, but do you really think that any team is going to send down a kid that they just gave $20 million to?
My guess is that the D-League will continue to be what it has been, a place for undrafted free agents to play.
