    G-League debuts this year... anyone else intrigued by this?

    Projects to be the 2nd best league in basketball this year. It's predecessor was essentially a practice setup, with a token playoff at the end of the season.

    Now with the dawn of 2-way contracts many more Americans will be staying home. A good substitute league...

    Yeah tough to look at, maybe observe for a week or so then maybe can find some angles

    Like I said, can't bet it (literally, can't bet it). Find all the angles you want, it's no good if there's no one to bet with.

    2nd best league in basketball talent wise yet the big books won't do it. I guess Americans want NBA or NCAA and non-Americans want local stuff, so not that surprising really.

    edit: Actually I take that back, not 2nd best, but still high level.

    How much did guys like Porzingis get paid to play overseas? If they shell out cash to get european stars as well as american kids, it can grow. With the nba and gatorade behind it, has a shot. But gonna have to attract some all americans and stars. And some sort of tv coverage. maybe start games at 6pm for that dead hour when people wait on ncaa and pro games.

    They get paid more in Europe & China. That's why Americans go there and not the other way around.
