The Indiana Pacers are expected to purchase the Fort Wayne Mad Ants of the D-League.


The Mad Ants have been the D-League's lone independent affiliate.

Looks like the rest should just get there own as well. It's a good way to develop young players while trying to remain competitive.

In the long run that can happen but it's impossible to set up so many teams in a couple month. Would take a while the teams would only be ready by 2016-17 at the earliest

Right now the NBA has a huge problem on their hands. Also huge moral issue if DLeague teams are forced to host these other players with no home. They will never get playing time
