I could care less about all those players except for Dorrell Wright. I'm hoping for something special from him in a few years.

Dwayne Jones is awesome, I'm surprised he didn't get any playing time while he was called up.

Barron was just warming the bench, but Dorrell could have played a bit... well not really.

I think it's a very acceptable decision.

Hey, do NBDL teams travel by bus like Minor League Baseball teams? That would be a welcome experience for most of the youngsters in the league that are way in over their heads, eh?

I hope they have to run to their games.

so how does this D league work. If an NBA team sends guys down there, doesnt the D league have to get rid of some players to make space?

It's true, sometimes they travel by bus, with 10 hours long trips, but it seems that they take the plane from time to time

Yup, but the player waived must be very weak to be the 10th man of a minor league team
