Adam Silver wants to bush the 1 & done

[trick]

Is there a cap on those 2 way g league contracts?

$80,000 guaranteed, you can earn up to $245k and spend a max of 45 days on the main roster. The two-way contract can be upgraded to a regular contract at the end of the first year. Two-way contracts do not count towards the salary cap.

Well obviously the NBA would have to make a concerted effort to get top prospects to the G League. They aren't doing that now, but if they wanted to compete with the NCAA they could put the dollars up to sign these elite HS recruits when they graduate.

But why would they though? Why would the NBA increase it’s labor cost to put on a product that many people won’t watch?

College basketball is a lot like the NFL. Fans don’t really care about the superstar player, they care about the Universities.

You can go to New Jersey right now and ask any New Jersey resident what’s the starting line-up for the Seton Hall basketball team ( nobody will answer), but go to Jersey and say Seton Hall sucks. They will drag your ass back to NYC blooded and bruised.

Paying these prospects to go to the G-League won’t serve the NBA in anyway.

I must be one of the only ones who feel like the one and done rule has hurt more players games than helped them.


Imagine if Kobe had to go to college, he wouldnt be the kobe we know, same with tmac and a few others.


The players that come straight outta HS(and succeed) usually are the most entertaining ones to watch


all these college nikkas have the exact same style damn near its boring

I think your gripe is with the AAU breh.

not the NCAA.

Not a bad deal. I think I'd take that over Europe for a year if I was a true NBA prospect.

I don’t mind them going to g league, will make g league fun to watch and better nba development

I don't think you'd be eligible for the draft if you signed a two-way deal though, and you would be stuck at the minimum for the first two years. If you're a elite prospect, you can probably earn more elsewhere. It definitely makes sense, if you are a really raw prospect with no shot of being drafted right out of high school.

Oh so when you're contract is upgraded after a year it has to be a minimum contract? That definitely changes things. I thought it could go higher.

What? It will get them much better coaching

 

[Woodrow]

the rule didn't go as planned

those kids are not learning to be men in 7 months

make it 4 years or no years

7 months? a lot of them only attend classes until basketball starts in the fall.

burn the NCAA to the ground. fukk it.

It's definitely worth the risk if you have nowhere to go and if you want playing time in the D-League. There's quite a few players on two-way contract who have earned more money before: Adreian Payne, JaKarr Sampson, Anthony Brown and James McAdoo all made 10x more last year. If you're willing to bet on yourself and you want to develop with a NBA team, then it makes sense to sign this deal instead of bouncing around and wasting your youth on the bench like a Daniel Orton or Donte Greene did.

Silver talks a lot but has he done anything other than banning silver in the past 3 years?

well adam silver claim the college system isn't working so set up your own system. i know what you mean tho


and i think if all the elite prospects played in the G League people would watch. But it'd be about development moreso than ratings. Like the minor leagues in baseball

Learning to be men are you retarded

basically

I think 2 years would accomplish significantly more than the one year, but you reach that stage where if you aren't gonna make at least 3 mandatory, what's the point ? Let the kids have the option to come straight out of HS and be done with it.

You learn to become an NBA player in the NBA

One and done is perfect. It should not be tweaked. If anything what should happen is the NBA should phase out the NCAA with the G-League in the next few decades.

You damn NCAA stans just want to relieve those “glory” days with rivalries.

CBB was better before the 1 and done rule

The 1 & done has done nothing for the NBA but keep veterans in the league longer than they should be
