Still my least favorite thread to start every year...
The first news is that Marshall Plumlee had his rights acquired by the Nets in exchange for a high second round pick in tomorrow's draft. While these rights do last for a couple of years, this sort of trade probably means that he intends to join the team.

There are no Duke players in the draft. Sometimes NBA veterans looking to get back in the picture will enter the draft and play in the league with the hopes of showing that they still have what it takes.
Matt's rights already exist so I assume that he will return to the Kings, who have moved their affiliate from Reno to Stockton. We probably would have heard if he planned on playing overseas.
The tricky thing with Gary is that the Blazers are one of the teams without an affiliate so if they want him to play in the G League they either leave it up to the lottery or try to find a team that wants him.
Andre's rights also exist, but I am not sure of his current health after his last season ended with injury. Also, changes in circumstances may mean that he does not want to play right now. I keep wondering if I'll see a trade for him to Oklahoma City.
Amile and Trevon will obviously spend some time in the league, but there always seem to be other players who end up there even if only for a brief time over the course of the season.
Nothing bad at all. Quite good actually. His wife just got a pretty solid job in Oklahoma's athletic department so he has been in the Norman area. She had been bit more nomadic herself as she was working her way up in the college athletics world so it might have been less of a big deal for them to not always be in the same place.
Today was the first day of the season.
Amile had 14 points and 11 rebounds in his first game for Lakeland as they lost to Hoffman Estates 96-71:

I am not a BB expert but Amile seems to be a somewhat unorthodox player but he plays so simple and smart that he ends up being extremely effective.
He is really racking up the numbers. I hope he gets a chance in the big league soon.
Kyle gets BUCKETS!
