Histori
National Basketball Development League (2001-2005)
The league began playing as the National Basketball Development League (NBDL) in the 2001-02 season; eight original franchises are all located in the southeastern United States (especially in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, and Georgia). NBA_Development_League_ (2005-2017) "> NBA Development League (2005-2017)
In 2005, the league name was changed to NBA Development League (NBA D-League) as part of a new collective bargaining agreement with the NBA and efforts to attract more fans by showing their connections to the major leagues. In the same offseason, Southwest Basketball, LLC led by David Kahn was granted permission by the league to operate four new teams. Southwest Basketball then bought three existing franchises and one expansion team: Albuquerque Thunderbirds, Austin Toros, Fort Worth Flyers and Tulsa 66ers. Arkansas RimRockers was also added from ABA for the 2005-06 season. In February 2006, the D-League expanded to California for the first time with the addition of Bakersfield Jam. Two months later, the league announced that four teams from the Continental Basketball Association joined the league: Dakota Wizards, Sioux Falls Skyforce, Idaho Stampede, and teams originally slated for CBA expansion, Colorado 14ers. Shortly after, the league announced expansion teams at Anaheim Arsenal and Los Angeles D-Fenders. D-Fenders became the first D-League team directly owned by the NBA's parent team, Los Angeles Lakers.
However, western expansion contributed to the contraction of Roanoke Dazzle and Fayetteville Patriots who owned the NBA for the season. Flame Florida stopped operations due to difficulty scheduling arena. After the 2006-07 season, there will be no more teams in the southeast United States until the 2016 expansion team, Greensboro Swarm.
After the 2006 to 2009 expansion, league membership was fairly consistent with only a few relocations and suspensions. In 2009, the Houston Rockets entered into the first single affiliate partnership, called a hybrid model, with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers. It started a wave of NBA and D-League teams entering into a single affiliate agreement of both hybrid varieties and parent-teams. With more NBA involvement, the league once again began to expand and spread its footsteps.
By 2015, the last multi-affiliate team, Fort Wayne Mad Ants, was bought by Indiana Pacers leading to the first season in which all D-League teams are affiliated with just one NBA team. Since no more unaffiliated D-League teams are left, the remaining NBA teams start buying expansion franchises or hybrid partnership teams and place them near the parent team. In 2015, the Toronto Raptors put their own team, Raptors 905, at the Greater Toronto Area in Mississauga, Ontario. In 2016, the D-League was expanded by three NBA club team teams for the largest D-League expansion since 2007. Charlotte Hornets created Greensboro Swarm, Brooklyn Nets created the Long Island Nets, and the Chicago Bulls created the Windy City Bulls.
NBA G League (2017-present)
In the 2017-18 season, the D-League held a multi-year partnership with Gatorade and announced it will be renamed NBA Gatorade League, officially shortened to "NBA G League" before this season. It also continues to change its membership with the relocation of Erie BayHawks to Lakeland, Florida, as Lakeland Magic, a new franchise of Erie BayHawks; and expansion at Agua Caliente Clippers in Ontario, California; Memphis Hustle in Southaven, Mississippi; and Wisconsin Herd in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Los Angeles D-Fenders will also be re-branded to the South Bay Lakers to reflect the league's name change.
In December 2017, the NBA and Twitch's live streaming website announced that they would broadcast a G League game at Twitch.tv.

Team ownership and NBA affiliation
Ownership models vary across the NBA G League. The growing willingness among NBA organizations to invest in League G has led to two main models: the direct ownership of the G League teams by the NBA parent club and the single affiliation partnership where the League G team remains independently owned while the parent club runs and finances the ball basketball. operation.
The club's direct ownership began in 2006 when the Los Angeles Lakers bought their own D-League NBA franchise, originally known as the Los Angeles D-Fenders and from 2017-18 as the South Bay Lakers, followed by San Antonio Spurs buying Austin Toros (now Austin Spurs ) in 2007 and Oklahoma City Thunder purchased Tulsa 66ers (now Oklahoma City Blue) in 2008. This led to more NBA teams to buy existing franchises or create expansion teams to have their own team-trust single. In 2011, the Cleveland Cavaliers bought New Mexico Thunderbirds to become Canton Charge and the Golden State Warriors bought the Dakota Wizards, with Warriors moving the Wizards a year later to become Santa Cruz Warriors. In 2013, Philadelphia 76ers purchased an inactive Utah Flash and moved it to Newark, Delaware as Delaware 87ers (now Delaware Blue Coats, and play in the largest city in the state of Wilmington). In 2014, the New York Knicks becomes the seventh team to fully own and operate their own NBA D-League affiliates at Westchester Knicks. In 2015, the Toronto Raptors created their own expansion franchise, Raptors 905. In 2017, Timberwolves bought Iowa Energy and renamed the team to Iowa Wolves.
In 2009, the Houston Rockets and Rio Grande Valley Vipers pioneered a single affiliate partnership, also known as a hybrid model. In November 2010, the New Jersey Nets and Springfield Armor announced they would enter into a single affiliate partnership which began in 2011-12. In June 2011, the New York Knicks and Erie BayHawks announced that they would be sole affiliated. In May 2012, the Portland Trail Blazers held a single affiliate partnership with Idaho Stampede. The following month, the Boston Celtics and Maine Red Claws announced a single affiliate partnership. In June 2013, the Miami Heat announced that it has established a partnership with one affiliate with Sioux Falls Skyforce. In July 2013, Sacramento Kings and Reno Bighorns (now Stockton Kings) enter into one affiliate. The Stampede ended their affiliation with the Trail Blazers after the 2013-14 season and in June 2014 announced their affiliation with the Utah Jazz. The Armor moved to Grand Rapids, Michigan, after the 2013-14 season and was affiliated with the Detroit Pistons. From 2014 to 2017, Memphis Grizzlies has a single affiliation with Iowa Energy. By 2015, the last double affiliate team, Fort Wayne Mad Ants, bought by Indiana Pacers makes the 2015-16 season the first with all teams having a single affiliate.
In some cases, a hybrid affiliate causes the parent team to purchase their affiliate franchise directly. On March 24, 2015, Utah Jazz bought their affiliates, Idaho Stampede, and after another season in Boise relocated the team to Salt Lake City. On April 11, 2016, the Phoenix Suns purchased their affiliate, Bakersfield Jam, and announced the team's immediate relocation to Prescott Valley, Arizona, as Northern Arizona Suns beginning with the 2016-17 season. On October 20, 2016, Sacramento Kings bought the majority of their affiliated ownership from the previous eight seasons, Reno Bighorns, and will eventually move the team to Stockton, California as Stockton Kings after the 2017-18 League G season. On December 14, 2016, Magic purchased their affiliate, Erie BayHawks, with the intention to relocate the team to Lakeland, Florida, in 2017. In 2017, the Miami Heat purchased a controlling stake in Sioux Falls Skyforce after becoming a major affiliate since 2013.

Team and location of future expansion

Expected and confirmed relocation
On November 10, 2016, the Atlanta Hawks announced that they had purchased and formed a new D-League team that would play in a new arena near College Park starting with the 2019-20 season. In the 2017-18 season, the Hawles' G League franchise began playing as Erie BayHawks, following the purchase of Magic from the original franchise, until the arena at College Park was completed.
On September 17, 2015, Washington Wizards owner Ted Leonsis said that the team's planned training facility, which will be located in Congress Heights neighborhood in Washington, D.C., will be the full-time home of the Washington Mystics WNBA. Leonsis also revealed at the time there was a "serious discussion" about also having the D-League team playing at the facility when it opened in 2018. On June 21, 2017, Wizards general manager Ernie Grunfeld confirmed that the team had acquired the right to own and operate the G League team with the 2018-19 season and that the team will play in a 4,200-seat facility. On December 1, 2017, the team name was revealed as Go-Go Capital City.
On April 9, 2018, Sacramento Kings revealed that Reno Bighorns will be moved to Stockton, California to play at Stockton Arena pending league approval. The lease for the team arena was approved and the new name was revealed as Kings Stockton on 17 April.
Location of expansion candidates
On October 12, 2015, it was announced that Omaha, Nebraska, was pursuing a D-League franchise. Gary Green, owner of Omaha Storm Chasers, said the NBA approved the idea of ​​the franchise while also mentioning Minnesota Timberwolves and the Denver Nuggets as possible affiliates. Green said, "We've been in talks with the NBA and the guys in the D-League and they really want to have a team in Omaha... We have a deal with D-League in place, we just have to find a franchise right now." Potential for the Omaha team is CenturyLink Center Omaha, Ralston Arena, or Baxter Arena.
On March 30, 2017, New Orleans Pelicans announced their intention to have a development team owned and operated by the 2018-19 season located in the South Bay region. The organization then announced that they were looking at 11 different locations: Mobile phones in Alabama; Alexandria, Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Lake Charles, Monroe, Shreveport, St. Tammany Parish in Louisiana; Gulfport-Biloxi and Jackson in Mississippi; and Pensacola, Florida. The list was narrowed when Pelikan received six proposals deadline April 25: Baton Rouge, Jackson, Mobile, Pensacola, Shreveport, and St. Tammany Parish. In August 2017, only two cities still in conflict were Pensacola and Shreveport. On September 12, the city council in Shreveport unanimously opposed the construction of a new arena for League G. On March 7, 2018, Pelikan's general manager, Dell Demps stated that they had attempted to create a delayed G-League team after Pensacola was the only candidate remaining from the shipment. Expansion possibilities are further complicated by the death of Pelicans owner Tom Benson on March 15.

Player allocation
NBA G League players generally do not sign contracts with each team, but with the league itself. The G-League team's name list consists of a total of 12 players, 10 (or fewer) are G League players and two (or more) NBA players. The list of names is organized in several ways: players of previous years, players taken in G League draft, allocation of players (meaning players assigned to teams with local connections, such as University of Texas players assigned to Austin Spurs) and NBA team duties. Each team also has a local test, and one player from the trial is assigned to the team.
The minimum age to play in League G is 18, unlike the NBA that requires 19-year-olds and one-year-olds from high school to sign an NBA contract or qualify for a draft. The highest player ever assigned was Hasheem Thabeet at 7'3 ", the second player selected in the 2009 NBA draft. The highest player ever to play in the G League was Paul Sturgess of England in 7'8", who played with Texas Legends during the 2013- 14.
Draft
The NBA G League Draft takes place every season and is the main source from which the team builds their roster. The team name list consists of returning players (players on the team during previous seasons), players are waived by NBA teams assigned as affiliates to their respective G League affiliates, allocated players (players which has local significance), and players are recruited. The 8th round draft uses the "serpentine" format, which means alternating sequences in each round; The first Team A selected in Round 1 will pick the last in Round 2, while the last B Team selected in Round 1 will get first choice in Round 2. Round 3 is added in 2014,
The league has an annual Invitational Player, in which prospects expect to get eligibility for the upcoming draft.
Affiliate players
Players are released by the NBA team during the training camp and until the start of the regular season can be designated as an affiliate player and allocated to the GBA affiliate of the NBA team. Each team is allowed four affiliate players. These are the players that the NBA team wants to develop in their own systems. The affiliate players, however, still remain as free agents that can be signed by the NBA team.
Task
Default task
Each NBA team can assign two first or second year players who are under the NBA standard contract to an affiliated G League team. If more than two NBA players are assigned to the team, the team must reduce the number of G League players to keep the total number of roster to 12. The NBA players will continue to be paid NBA salaries and will continue to be included on the NBA team's NBA list on the inactive list while playing in G League.
The NBA team can call as many players as they choose, and there is no limit to the number of times an NBA player with three years or less experience can be assigned to League G. Beginning in 2011-12, NBA veteran players can be assigned with their consent. The first example of that is with Yi Jianlian, who commissioned the Dallas Mavericks to Texas Legends for two games.
Two-way contract
The 2017 Joint Together Agreement for the NBA, which came into force in the 2017-18 season, includes changes that allow each NBA team to sign two players for a two-way contract. These players will spend most of their time on the G League team roster but can freely move to the NBA team for up to 45 days in the regular season, as well as being part of the team list prior to the start of the season (including the NBA training camp) and after the end of the regular League G season (although they are not allowed to be on the playoff list of teams or play in playoffs). Only players with four or less years of NBA experience are eligible for a two-way contract. Unlike other G League players, who can be summoned by the NBA team, two-way players can only be called up by the contracted NBA team. Players under two-way contracts do not count towards the NBA's regular list bounds, and can be assigned to a G-League affiliate for development while also earning a larger salary each time they are called to the parent team. For teams that have no one-to-one affiliation with the G League team, a process similar to the "flexible assignment" rule is used to determine the placement for their own two-way contract in League G until each team has their exact affiliates in progress. In addition, salaries for two-way players are much higher than regular G League players. In the 2017-18 season, G-League players who are not in a two-way contract earn $ 19,500 or $ 26,000 during the league season. In contrast, the salary of a two-way player in League G, judged on the number of player days by his G League team, is based on an annual salary of between $ 50,000 and $ 75,000, and while these players are with their NBA team they will get a pro of the minimum NBA rookie salary (which would be $ 815,615 in the 2017-18 season).
Successful NBA call-ups
Many former NBA ambassadors, deprived players and unregistered players have played in the NBA D-League. Bobby Simmons and Aaron Brooks are the only former D-League players to win the NBA season's final awards; both won the Most Improved Player Award with Simmons earning it with the Los Angeles Clippers in 2004-05 and Brooks earned it with the Houston Rockets in 2009-10.
In the 2008 NBA draft, Mike Stampede's Mike Taylor was composed 55th by the Portland Trail Blazers. He became the first player of the NBA D-League designed by the NBA team. He then traded and signed a rookie contract with the Los Angeles Clippers. In the 2014 draft, two D-League players were selected for the first time: PJ Hairston was recruited 26th (which was also the first time a D-League player was designed in the first round in the NBA) and Thanasis Antetokounmpo was the 51st pick.
Other important D-League calls include Jeremy Lin, Hassan Whiteside, 2011 NBA champion J. J. Barea, 2014 NBA champion Danny Green, 2015 and 2017 NBA champion Shaun Livingston and NBA 2017 champion Matt Barnes.
