The Fort Wayne Mad Ants — the reigning D-League champions — will be holding an open tryout in Suwanee on October 4.

 

"No! They can't be going after the Suwanee guys! That's our season-ticket base!"

We previously had done the math but the NBA and the NBA Development league made it official on Monday when they announced team affiliates for the 2014-15 season. The D-League sports 18 teams total and 17 of them will have a one-to-one affiliation which is an all-time high for the league. While this is great news for the league it isn't as good a situation for the teams that don't have a single affiliation. The Atlanta Hawks for example will be one of 13 teams that will share affiliation with the Fort Wayne Mad Ants.

 

Obviously that is a less than ideal situation and could introduce some real problems for some teams. Only four players can be assigned to one D-League club at a time and no more than two are allowed per position.

 

 

 

What happens in case of a logjam?

If no singly-affiliated NBA D-League team is willing to accept the assigned player, he will be assigned to one of the non-NBA-owned single affiliate teams pursuant to a lottery.

 

Nine teams qualify: Bakersfield (Suns), Erie (Magic), Idaho (Jazz), Iowa (Grizzlies), Grand Rapids (Pistons), Maine (Celtics), Reno (Kings), Rio Grande Valley (Rockets) and Sioux Falls (Heat). Those nine teams may end up being stuck with someone else's prospect because there's not enough room on Fort Wayne.
