Baylor's Pierre Jackson has also resurfaced in the D-League draft pool. He originally signed in France, but left because he was homesick.

D-League draft? Do we still maintain his rights though?

Yes. We pretty much have to renounce his rights for him to be free.

I think so.

We need our own damn team too. The Pelicans have to share the Energy with four other NBA teams! How can we possibly teach a system with four other teams.

The current set up of the DLeague gives you no rights to players you develop unless they're already on your roster and you send them down. It's currently better for developing Front Office talent than On Court talent.

I knew that. Our very own assistant coach Brian Gates was the head coach of the Idaho Stampede who won the D-League Finals a few years ago. It really is a great story for people like that to get promoted to NBA jobs.

Look at the Sioux Falls Skyforce website. When they signed an exclusive deal with Miami, they changed their colors, font, and everything to match the Heat. The NBA will eventually get to 1:1 affiliations.
