anyone got any intel on what the team's timetable/plans are for a dedicated D-league team? seems like the NBA is moving towards a real farm team set up with ideally every team having its own affiliate. any rumors about the bensons buying a team?
from wiki:
i wonder what the franchise fee is...Ownership models vary across the NBA D-League. Independent owners control most of the league’s teams, but growing willingness among NBA organizations to invest in the D-League has led to two other models: direct ownership of D-League teams by parent NBA clubs and single-affiliate partnerships in which the D-League team remains independently owned while the parent club runs and finances basketball operations.
anyone want to kickstart it?
