This thread is filled with people who didn't listen to the interview? The one and done is going away. The age limit is not being increased. And no, the NBA Union will not have to fight for it, as pointed out they have no real reason to. The NBA and the Owners will be pushing for this rule to go away.You guys think scouting highschool prospects is a cost Billionaire owners are worried about? Nah, maybe 15 years ago. There is a massive built in network of highschool scouts ranking these prospects on a national level that actually works pretty well, the internet and networking has come a long way in 15 years.Want to know what worries the NBA and Owners even more then paying a couple scouts? It's these colleges, getting their hands on top level talent, implanting their people around them, before the NBA and these teams get them.The NBA wants their hands on these Blue Chippers before the NCAA can dig their talons into them.

Yahoo speculates the days of prospects like Kobe and Lebron entering the NBA straight from high school may returnGotta think its the opposite. Owners don't want to be paying teenagers millions to develop their talents. They would rather have them develop their skills for free in college. I think they bump up the age limit by at least one year.Have to agree, I remember an NBA analyst talking to Zach Lowe some time ago and he was saying that the owners have wanted the age limit increased since the one and done rule was in place because they kept stuffing up their picks on young unproven talent, they essentially want guaranteed top level talent in the lottery range without any real risk.

I think they bump up the age limit by at least one year.Except Silver has consistently said they are going to do away with it entirely (I actually think they will go with the baseball system, you can come out after high school but if you go to college you will be required to stay 2 seasons). He doesn't see the point in the rule for the top level players and thinks the players would get better development in the GLeague or NBA then they are getting in college.

If players straight out of high school were required to spend at least their first season in the G-League, that would work. would likely see the bulk of the one-and-done kids skip college for that first paycheck.

That isn't what Silver has been saying and why should he? Did Lebron James need to spend a year in the GLeague? Silver has consistently taken the position that if the player is ready he should be given the opportunity to play and grow at the highest level. It is up to the teams to determine who is ready, when, and where a player should be drafted.

It is up to the teams to determine who is ready, when, and where a player should be drafted. Lebron is the exception, not the rule. the odds you'd be holding back a high-schooler from being a top player in his rookie season is extremely remote.better option is have highschoolers participate in a G-league draft where they play for a year (or more depending on the length of the contract they sign) and then become eligible for the NBA draft. They owe no allegiance to their G-league team. if they go undrafted by the NBA, they're free to sign with whatever team/league they can find.I would the player's association would be in favor of this to an extent because it buys an extra year or more for players already in the league to draw an NBA paycheck.
