Following potential 2015 draftees

to be honest before they can even think of fixing the age issue they need to fix the farming system. the draft needs to be moved out to 4 rounds. pay into the dleague needs to start at about the league minimum and go down from there. get rid of the stupid 10 day contract crap and only allow teams to call up players in their farm club.

nba teams would always have to have 12 active players. no more teams only having 8 active players because of injury. allow players to get bak to strength playing in on the farm team.

I love this idea.

Sounds nice in theory, and that's what they should eventually try to make over there, but it's not feasible with the government still controlling a lot of the league. Basically, there is no room for a bunch of Mudiays in China right now, especially if you can just sign a Marbury who the fans will actually know and who can still produce at a high level. You can only have 2 or 3 foreigners per team and foreigners are only allowed to play a combined 6 quarters for each team in a game right now, and since they are usually the best players....that's usually 2 guys playing 3 quarters each.

Yeah but those rules and restrictions are not set in stone though right? If the NBA enforces that 2-3 year college rule, the Chinese League will be getting many more phone calls from agents/kids wanting to play there, it will force these teams to pressure the government to alter the rules, etc. Pretty sure the promise of more $$$ under the table would change things.


You're pretty much the "Raymond Tusk" of Jazzfanz, you know as well as I do the Chinese would do anything for $$$, especially when it gives them a chance to **** with the US as well is a Bonus.
 
It's a risk reward thing with unknown players... Just like a speculative business proposition the risk is baked into the price (or draft stock in this example). If the risk is too high more proven players should be drafted ahead of the riskier ones. If Oubre had proven himself he'd be a top 5 pick instead of a late lotto guy... The risk just has to be worth the reward with where you are drafting him.

Proven seniors have flamed out as high lotto picks... More proven players slide to the end of the draft and then turn into gems. It is all speculation and I doubt major reform would change that all that much.

Plus we live in Merica' people... Take that have to wait to make money commi **** out of here.

Virtual high 5 brotha. Let a man make his money!
 
Either go pro right out of HS, or go to college for at least 3 years, just like baseball. Each school has a set limit of money they can give to players per year, like a $200k budget for example. Divide it all evenly, or however you want. If your school can't afford the budget, then tough luck. Kids are getting paid anyways, might as well have it on the up and up. Improves college and pro basketball. Win-win for America, teams and fans.

Elect me as your next commissioner and these are the changes that I'll make. And ***** sprinkles on the cheerleaders. Mandatory.

I don't disagree in principle, rather just looking at it from a selfish college basktball fan's perspective.

I feel ya... College basketball is **** right now. I think they need to make a few rule changes before overhauling the system. No more 35 second shot clock... I don't need to see 15 seconds of 3 man weave at the top of the key before every damned play.

I really think we are trading the pick.

I think we might for a higher pick... There really aren't any vets that are available that fit a need for us that match value wise. If you hit on this year's pick or next year's pick it is huge with the rising cap. My understanding is that the rookie scale won't change. The value of these contracts was already high... add 50% to that value.

I would ask for a mint for the pick and cite that as the reason why.

I think the biggest hurdle to the ratio of foreigners/Chinese is that the CBA is basically the training grounds/tryouts for their national team and their national team means a lot to them. They've kind of always believed that basketball would bring them some athletic prominence around the world, but they seem to be failing miserably on that account as they continue to lose games in FIBA Asia events and stuff so maybe that could change.

I'm just not convinced Okafor, Towns, or guys like that mean anything to people in China, which means they wouldn't necessarily benefit the CBA $$$ wise by bringing any over since it's just the domestic market they are playing for and they wouldn't necessarily make those teams any better either. There were multiple American PGs that outplayed Muiday in China this year. He was more or less irrelevant outside of that initial public relations surge.
