Just saw an interesting article about the salary structure for the D-League. This year there will be two salary tiers. $19,500 and $26,000. The goal is to grow the league to 30 teams, when it is expected to triple the current salaries. Like someone posted earlier, if you were one of a team's last cuts, most will play in the D-League hoping for a call up to the NBA. Last year D-League call ups to the NBA made a combined 5 million dollars Yes but it was 80 players. 😀😀😀

Maybe watch for laury, he was a gael too i think I watched Laury all the time in the development league and all his Portsmouth games. I guess it's just more exciting the first year out of college. Laury is 26 and need to go now and earn some money overseas. He is closer to an NBA player than English. But he too has many negatives. His ticket to the NBA is also his 3 point shot, however it's almost a set shot, and if he started hitting all the time he would be defended and the shot wouldn't work anymore. Funny thing is best chance at our next NBA player may be Rashad James and he couldn't get any minutes at Iona, He's just an incredible athlete and that gives him an advantage most ex Gaels don't have.

Aj had hot and cold stretches that lasted multiple games throughout his career (mostly hot), this 5 game cold stretch came at a very bad time. Finally hit a 3 and scored 14 points, mostly on free throws, missed a ton of shots. They gave him a chance today as he played most of the game but he was just frigid from the field.
Laury played ok, 11 points, and had decent stats across the board.
One positive the two had 7 steals between them.

These 5 games could have been used to torture prisoners at Guantanamo.

Here's a video of Robert Carter & AJ arriving in Italy..AJ's arrival start at 1:07. He had a nice fan base waiting for him! I also saw that he will be wearing #5 for Enel Brindisi youtu.be/JDF68eDwbuU

Looks like AJ has been inactive recently on the roster. Seems like there's a chance he might get released.
