I should have responded to this a while back. This just shows me that the CBA is still a veterans league. Moochie Norris and some other guys prove to me that the CBA can thrive amidst the tribulations of the NBDL. We'll see though. Former NBA players should come to play simply for the competitive atmosphere and this should attract NBA scouts.
