I'll agree with those who have said Maine.

I also think that it's finally time that each NBA team had a D-League affiliate and all players from a franchise's team should be able to be called up and sent back down during the season. It is awkward right now with only some players being the property of an NBA team and some NBA teams sharing a D-League affiliate. Expand the draft to 4-5 rounds and give each NBA team more to work with. If this were the case, there would be no doubt where Mickey would have gained better experience.
+1 to every team having a d-league team. And I'm for a 3rd round draft.  4 and 5 is too much. And expand teams' roster to 17 but have it as 2 d-league call up players only. Can't be all vets only D-league viable players can count as 16 and 17th roster men.
good ideas. and if not this exactly, something akin to baseball's minor leagues. be able to call up players through out the year in a similar fashion.

  • A true Celtic plays with heart.
One is professional, and the other is on the collegiate.

There is definitely more benefit from me personally, in my opinion, that an NBA player should be playing in one to further improve their skills. There are obviously some players that need maturing, and time to develop their fundamental skills. But Mickey seems like a very smart and well outspoken type of guy. He'll catch on quick, and agree about D-League setups for every team.

Simmons and he play the same position to some degree.   I vote the Celtics.  Better competition means better improvement in a lot of cases especially if someone has the physical talent and mental toughness to make it on the next level.
