Yeah. There is no easy solution or answer. College system and March Madness are ingrained parts of our culture. They aren't going anywhere, and they shouldn't have to disappear, even if it is a flawed way of producing pro basketball players.
I really like your idea about extending the draft and turning it into a real minor league. Like you say, #basketballreasons are a secondary concern. I'm not sure who steps up to pay the tab.

Maybe the players? The owners smoothing proposal was apparently designed to take money out of the cap (but not away from the players) to keep individual salaries down. Maybe they can take that same principle but use it in a way that the union would go for. Take $3-5 million from the new TV money cap increase, increase the number of roster spots and require a number of DLeague assignments per team. Why would the players go for it? It'd be a bit of a hard sell with a high paid SuperStar as union president, but I have to think they'd see some value in creating more NBA jobs and a legit alternative to Euroleague.
