Message: [QUOTE="nomar, post: 4697120, member: 651"] It's also fun as an NBA fan to see the guys your team just drafted or signed play RIGHT AWAY. It's like if you got to watch the QB your NFL team drafted in the top-5 lace em up 3 weeks later. Nobody's getting exploited. Except for the Wembayamas of the world, the vast majority of the participants are playing for a very good reason -- either they're trying to lock down a contract or the team that holds their rights is trying to learn something about them. And even for the Wembys and Scoots, it's a chance to showcase themselves. It's not really about money. Sure, the NBA tries to squeeze out of it what it can, but it's about player acquisition and development, and it's fun for everybody. [/QUOTE]
