be a good way to play and pay players on the other side of the salary cap.

I believe they are allowed and its a pretty good idea.

League would probably get mad at them trying to support the NBDL.

I dont know about a Euro league but I know they can buy a NBDL team. Something the Knicks should do.

The Knicks have an affiliated team. You can watch them on NBA-TV.

Knicks affiliated team is lame cause we share it with 3 other teams I think. Some teams have their own affiliate or share with only one other team.

It'd be nice to have a pipeline for own young talent- guys we've signed and wanted to sign like Jackie Butler, Leon Smith, etc. And have a staff that we hired develop them the way we want to. Last point being key.

We share Tulsa with Bucks and Mavs
lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

The problem with that is that unless it is a player on your 15 man roster any team in the NBA is allowed to call them up and sign to them to a contract. It's the NBA minor league system not individual teams like in baseball.
