At my current place in my officiating career... no, I wouldn't accept a replacement NBA (or NFL, or MLB) gig.
However, if I was at a different point in my career (5ish years till I plan on retiring, knowing this would be my one shot for 15 minutes of fame, being able to make more money in 1 month of officiating then I'll make in 5 years, being ok with potentially being ostracized by the officiating world at large)... it would be a much tougher decision.
