One thing I really like about the MLB is the farm system. It allows for more trades and lets teams develop players.
It also creates scrapheap super finds (De Aza). So, here's my idea for making the D-League a real system. 1) Each team gets a dedicated D-League team, no more sharing teams. 2) Each team should be relatively close to their home team (100 mile radius?) which would develop interest in local fans seeing them. 3) Let NBA teams draft high school players, but they have to play a year for the D-League team. Then can be called up. Adds some interest there. And as for a maybe: 4) Bring back something along the lines of the territorial picks, but they have to play a season in the D-League, so players might just opt to go to college and be drafted the normal way. Can only use a territorial pick every five years. A way this would work: Say the Bulls have a D-League team in Aurora, Rockford, Joliet, or Naperville. Let's say Aurora for the sake of discussion. After the 06-07 season, the Bulls like this Rose kid from Chicago. They take him with their territorial pick. He goes to the Aurora for a year, instead of Memphis. Still plays for Bulls, which is why I picked him. |

I feel like if the league did this, plus remove the salaries limits/rules (other than minimum) and only had a luxury tax like the MLB, it would increase the parity so damn much.

I don't think removing the salary cap would increase parity. The territorial rule would also be a big slap in the face to parity. |

Maybe make the territorial pick every 10 years? And I think removing the cap would help. Otherwise we see stupid contracts get thrown out because of Max Offers and Contract Limits. |
