As Jeremy Lin advances to the NBA G League to find a chance to return to the NBA, more and more people begin to pay attention to G League-related events. In view of the fact that G League is a league with less exposure, and this year’s related regulations have been slightly changed, I will take readers here to get a glimpse of what G League is? What are the important points?
What is G League?
G League is an independent league under the NBA.His predecessor is D-League, NBADL, is aSimilar Development Alliancethe concept of. The purpose of the NBA in forming this league is to wantIntroduce a farm system similar to MLB. We all know that MLB’s team farming system is quite large and complex, including many different levels of minor league events. Therefore, MLB’s team building system is very important to the team, and compared with NBA. It is also slightly better. It can often be seen that MLB teams raise super-big things from their own farms that can affect the league. In this era of big maximum salaries, many NBA teams have begun to think about how to make good use of the player’s contract rules to create the best combat effectiveness for their teams. Therefore, rookie development has begun to be valued, and G League has become a team. A good place for reinforcement.
The player composition of G League is not sloppy at all. Many current NBA players are from G League or have played G League. According to statistics, 45% of the current NBA players have played in the G League, and many of them are now first-line players in the league. Famous players including Siakam and VanVleet of the Tyrannosaurus, Whiteside of the Kings, Dinwiddie and Joe Harris of the Nets, and CJ McCollum of the Trailblazers have all played in this system.
How does G League work?
The earliest G League teams were not directly affiliated with specific NBA teams as they are now, but only part of the development league. After the NBA officials began to want to establish the same development system as the MLB, many NBA teams began to acquire various development league teams, which led to the evolution of the current G League teams directly under specific NBA teams.
NBA teams can place players in their player roster in the G League teams that the team belongs to. There are some restrictions on decentralization, as follows:
In order to protect the rights of NBA players to play in the NBA, the team needs to abide by certain regulations if they want to transfer players to the G League.
A player who has experienced 0-2 years in the league: the team can delegate him at any time
Players who have been in the league for more than 3 years: the team and the players must reach a consensus before delegating
When the player is transferred to the G League team, he has 48 hours to report to the team.
Here is an interesting little information for readers’ reference. In the 2016-17 season, Tyrannosaurus’ Bruno Caboclo was transferred to the Tyrannosaurus G League team Raptors 905 many times in one season, and he was transferred 33 times throughout the season! I don’t know how it feels to run back and forth between the two leagues like this~
Many people would be curious: Since NBA teams havePlayer list restrictionsYes, is there also G League?
The answer is yes.Theoretically speaking, the maximum number of players in a G League team is 10, but if it is a player from the NBA or the principle of a double contract,Not counted among those 10 people. Therefore, sometimes there will be a burst of players in the G League team for a certain period of time.
So what impact will decentralization have on the roster of NBA teams?
When a player’s contract is an NBA official contract, he is already included in the team’s 15-man roster. And if a player with a formal contract is transferred to G League, he will automatically enter the 3 inactive list on the team list. So doing so will still occupy a player space, but it will only occupy a position that would not play in the game. So for some rookies who are not yet able to become immediate combatants, the team usually makes decentralized moves for them to develop the league and practice. After all, if the team needs them, they can be called up at any time.
What is the difference between 2020-21 G League?
1. Competition venue
In view of the epidemic situation, although the NBA will play back and forth between its home and away games as usual, the G League is different. After discussion, G League decided to copy the model of last season’s NBA playoffs and relocate the entire league to Orlando Disney for the Bubble League game.The relevant rules are basically the same as last year’s Bubble League. Interested readers can refer to it.

G League stated that entering the Bubble League in this way hopes to suspend the flow of players between the home team and the G League team. After all, when the epidemic in the United States is still serious, the last thing NBA officials want to see is caused by the infection of players. The league has been shut down again, because the losses caused by the last season’s shutdown alone can be said to be a considerable number! This may affect some players.
