Terrence Jones and Jeremy Lamb were down there most of their season. I know Jared Cunningham of the Mavs played about 2 months in the D-League before being recalled just recently. Fab Melo has been in the D-League for a month now, and was down for an extended period of time earlier in the season.

What you'll find is that teams that have a single affiliate tend to use them more than teams that share D-League teams.

Marcus Morris was in the Dleague along with Greg Smith all of last year and they were rotation players for the Rockets this year. Morris was traded, but the Rockets seem to do that with all their first rd picks and 2nds that wont be playing 20mpg or more because they have staff down their and believe in that method just like I do

I think its a great tool if you own the team. If you dont own the team I would do what the Pacers do and just use it in certain situations. But with full control it is a no brainier to use. Happy for Terrence Jones I like his skill set. I have been watching him in the dleague all year and he is starting to understand how hard you need to play at this level. The dleague has been good for him IMO.

I can't stand Russell Westbrook, dude acts a fool any time he makes a shot. Arms flailing, high stepping, he looks like Ray Lewis out there.

LOL, they just showed an exit clip of Durant clearly committing a foul on Kawai Leonard, and talking about Durant's excellent defense. Amazing that he didn't get called for it.

Initial exam suggests likely torn ACL for Denver's Danilo Gallinari, source tells Y! "Ligament was loose," source says. MRI Friday.

Looks like Wilson Chandler will be getting plenty of PT. Wilson is a player I wanted the Pacers to get last year coming back from China. If they could have, they wouldn't had to sign Green, and would've had a good bench player who can score.
