2014-2015 NBA D League Thread

[awhom111]

As I say every year, I hope this thread stays mostly unused.

Seth Curry made his debut for Erie in a 90-88 preseason win over Canton today. Seth had 14 points and led the early explosion that built a halftime lead and with the exhibition rotations in use, he ended up playing only 22 minutes.

Seth is back to leading his team to wins as he had 23 points and 6 rebounds in 40 minutes as Erie beat Idaho 96-88. Since the Magic also had Peyton Siva as an affiliate player for Erie, Seth is back to playing to playing heavily off the ball.

Glad to hear that Seth is playing well. With numbers like those, it's hard to see how he'll stay in the D-League.
I wonder how long Andre stays on the Heat active roster, seems like he might get some benefit from playing against other pro players in game situations.

Seth is on the top of all of the lists that people have of players who could get the call up. For a player like him, finding the right fit is everything. Trying to pick the right team to go to training camp with can be tricky.

You can watch his next game tomorrow at 7:00pm ET in Fort Wayne here:

Seth is featured on the homepage for the Erie Bayhawks. I hate to see him riding busses and pulling down small coin, but he has a future somewhere. Maybe not the NBA. Maybe not even the Magic, which is kind of stocked with both shooting guards and point guards right now. But just because Erie is affiliated with Orlando doesn't mean he couldn't play elsewhere in the NBA if needs arise. And I have no doubt he'd have a future overseas if he wanted to go that route, though right now he's committed to getting entrée into the NBA. Color me optimistic on Seth's future as a pro baller.

[awhom111]

Seth led all scorers again with 26 points in 41 minutes in an Erie win. Peyton Siva got a triple double after grabbing the most rebounds of anyone from his point guard position.

Seth turned down multiple solid overseas offers this summer. For a player like him, the route he has chosen to take is pretty solid. He reportedly had a partial guarantee amount of $150,000 for going to camp with Orlando. Just one callup for ten days will see him past the $200,000 mark for the season while being able to stay in the United States all year closer to family and friends.

Seth led his team again with 27 points in 38 minutes, but Erie lost the second game to Fort Wayne 103-93.

The latest news making the rounds is that Nolan Smith will opt to play in the D League instead of heading back overseas.

That's good. I was thinking of asking to change the name of the thread to something like the Seth Curry D-league thread. Seriously though when will some smart NBA team pick this guy up! Really!!!

So what has Nolan been doing in the interim? He wasn't on a roster in the NBA was he?

No. He was playing for Galactus Hospital in Turkey. He got kicked out of the gym by his coach during a game, after throwing a towel. Then he parted ways with the team. That was a few weeks ago.

Kentucky's James Young was drafted #17 by the Celtics this year, and he's now been sent down to the Maine Red Claws to team up with Ralph Sampson III. It's a good move for him; he wasn't playing. And these OADs can't develop as players if they butt-polish benches. Still, if you can't get PT for the Celtics this year, well... Danny "No We Won't Trade Rajon" Ainge will likely keep him in the bank as trade bait. For when Ainge trades Rajon.

You know, I think I am going to start calling it Galactus Hospital in all my recaps now.

It ended up taking from the time of that incident until Saturday to resolve how his contract would be settled.

I saw the name of the team intermittently since Nolan joined, but in my head it always registered as "Galactus Hospital".

Finally, I thought, to hell with it! I don't have time to remember some 14 letter Turkish word. It's gonna just be Galactus Hospital!

There will be other activity soon. In addition to Nolan joining Delaware, Dahntay Jones is joining Fort Wayne as I guess the desire to keep playing does not go away that easily.

I do not know how the actual mechanics of Nolan's move worked. Apparently he was claimed off waivers as I suppose his rights might have still been held by Idaho from his NBA days. I wonder if he specifically knew he would be headed there or if he was looking to go anywhere that wanted him.

The two teams actually play on Friday if both players are available in time.

Sounds like a sci-fi soap opera...

That incident was so far out of character for Nolan, it just doesn't seem possible that it was "our" Nolan. Glad he has the desire to keep playing. He was one of my favorites to play at Duke. GoDuke!
