illwauk 423 Posted August 23, 2014 What about the resch center in Green BayUWGB is already more than enough basketball for Green Bay. The last minor league basketball team to try and make a run there ended up moving their games to the gym at Appleton East High School during the season. Both the Fox Valley and La Crosse have successfully hosted CBA teams before; and as of right now, neither of them have a higher level of basketball than D3. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Needschat 221 Posted August 23, 2014 A schooner is a two or three masted sailing vessel, just smaller than a clipper. Also, a BIG glass of beer, usually 32 oz or more 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mfoster 38 Posted September 4, 2014 5800 seats would be just right for a D-League team (There are only three teams with 10,000+ seat arenas in the D-League: Iowa, Fort Wayne and Tulsa/OKC).Actually, the Tulsa 66'ers are no more. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nba/2014/07/18/thunder-affiliate-tulsa-66ers-moving-to-okc/12849655/The last two seasons they've been in the SpiritBank Event Center in Bixby, which seats 4,500.Now they're going to the Cox Center across the street from the Thunder, which is also home to the AHL Barons. It seats about 13,500 and had previously hosted (among other venues across the OKC metro and state in general) the CBA Cavalry franchise.As for the team's new name... this recent USPTO filing suggests they'll be the Oklahoma City Blue. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LAWeaver 948 Posted September 4, 2014 As for the team's new name... this recent USPTO filing suggests they'll be the Oklahoma City Blue.The Blue what? Seriously, that's a horrible name. It seems like they didn't have enough space to put "Blue Devils" or something, so they just said "Heck with it, We'll just go with Blue. What's the worst that could happen?!?!" 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cappital92 46 Posted September 10, 2014 I'm pretty sure that one team's gonna be the Mad Ants. I think 13-14 teams are going to be affiliated with them. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hettinger_rl 1,413 Posted September 30, 2014 Just had a thought... once all the teams have a 1-1 affiliate the second round of the draft should be a ticket straight to the D-League. Unless they play their way onto the main roster via summer league or something. This could really turn into a farm-team system. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4_tattoos 1,444 Posted September 30, 2014 The Show Place Arena in Upper Marlboro, Maryland would be a decent home arena for a D-League team should the Wizards decide to officially adopt an affiliate. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This could really turn into a farm-team system.Ill do one better the draft should expand to three rounds and open up to High School again. With the rule enter the draft or commit to at least two seasons in the NCAA. MLB has a similar rule. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
