I like this idea. It makes sense for the NBA because a lot of people will be able to watch the games if they want or just check out the highlights. Plus it's not like the NBA was going to get any kind of big TV deal for the D-League anyway. And it's a sound move for Youtube because they want to increase their lower-tier live sports coverage.

good move but they should change the name d-league to something else. sounds degrading.
i think they should do this. send the most crap NBA team to the dleague and promote the DLEague champions to the NBA every year.
would really help with the tanking issues. draft rules would also have to be re-done but i like the idea.
I know it's NBDL officially, but anyone who recalls it refers to it as d-league. although this league cannot be compared to nba level, it includes players that might get unlucky not being able to show their talent, or work hard and become something. jeremy lin is a good example. although he is not feeling very well right now, he was really good at knicks last season and after yao's departure, the association really used him as a commodity to the asian fans. so it's a value for the league. it brings something, sometimes in short terms sometimes in long terms. mostly to keep the popularity up. that's why d-league should be respected more and own a new name in my opinion.
actually i think it used to be the NBDL but now they officially changed their name to NBA D-League.
oh sorry I didn't know that.
