[QUOTE="sacraig, post: 1420038, member: 586845"] There's some truth to that, but you also have to consider that the G League will grow in stature if it attracts more star power. Also consider that the shoe companies can and will still pay these kids. Only now, it won't be to join a specific team, but will follow the same model as any other properties player. Stars get paid to rep the brand. In theory, these kids could get their $125,000 from the G League, plus a salary, plus the same $100,000 that Adidas was going to give them anyway. That's a powerful economic incentive and might make up for the lower glitz level of the G League compared to the NCAA. [/QUOTE]
