My idea to make the NBA better



Here is my idea to make the NBA better, make more money for the NBA and for 
the player's association.

Let each team send one or two players to the NBDL to play. They can pull them 
back at any time. The rule would be that you can have no more than 3 years of 
NBA experience to be sent down to the "minors".

Each team would be able to increase its roster by 1 from 15 to 16 but still 
maintain the twelve standard playing roster. A player on the injured reserve 
could be eligible to play in the minors. 

The player's association would like this because it gets an additional 30 
players NBA money. The NBA would like it because he would improve the quality of 
play and they would make more money from NBDL attendance and viewership. The 
NBA fans would love it because they would have an opportunity to follow and 
watch a player on their favorite team have a chance to play and develop.

As for how it would work with the NBDL, they would suck up the best players 
available because they want to win and/or get exposure. I assume to start they 
would have a draft to get rights for any player with 3 years of experience or 
less. The NBA parent team has the right to push and pull the player as they 
desire. However, the NBDL team has the right to determine who plays and how 
much. So a team could send a play down and he may not get as much time as the 
parent team desires. If so, that is too bad for them. Maybe they can help 
faciliate a trade of that player's rights to another team.

This makes too much sense for it to happen. Kind of like a college football 
playoff. But it would be great for the league.....
