It allows for NBA teams to secure control of and cover the expenses related to the basketball operations of an NBA D-League team while partnering with existing local ownership, which maintains responsibility for the team’s off-the-court business operations.During the past season I spent some time covering the Springfield Armor, who have a hybrid affiliation with the New Jersey Nets. The Nets hired Springfield’s head coach. They appointed its general manager. They controlled everything on the basketball side of operations, made decisions on which players to keep, which players to trade, etc.When the Nets held training camp, the Armor coaching staff were involved in the meetings and fo...

Smith was called up from the NBDL by the New Jersey Nets following a 2-for-1 trade that opened up a roster spot. Smith is averaging 19.1 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 32 games for the Springfield Armor. He was named D-League Player of the Month for February and Player of the Week for the first week of that month. In February, he led Springfield to a perfect 8-0 record, averaging 22.1 points, 5.9 rebounds and 5.0 assists. He was chosen to the D-League All-Star Team. Jerry is the fifth D-Leaguer called up by the Nets this year, following Dennis Horner, Larry Owens, Andre Emmett and Gerald Green. Since Green has been called-up, Smith has been regarded as the NBDL’s top prospect.

The Nets entered the fourth quarter trailing 83-80, then took control with a 12-5 run. Williams had five points in that stretch, including a 3-pointer that made it 105-96 with 3:26 remaining. The Nets (4-11) held on the rest of the way, going scoreless for almost three minutes. MarShon Brooks had 22 points, eight rebounds and six assists for the Nets, and Kris Humphries had 18 points and 15 rebounds.

I actually don’t think that’s the case. Not by a long shot. What you could see last night in Dwight Howard was sheer determination. Even if he was slim on points, he ripped through 24 boards, even made a fantastic save that led to Reddick’s 3. The Magic were clearly the dominant presence last night, and not even our man from Providence (now also known as KobeShon Broverson) could hold them at bay, although it was by his effort that the Nets came back to a 3 point difference. I’m not even going to pretend that I cared about a win. Everything was about Howard, as I tried to picture the jerseys overlapping, and him blocking Ryan Anderson instead of Damion James. He and Williams have had dinner together most of the times that D-Will was in Orlando, and, according to Howard, they’ve been “friends since the Olympics”.
