D-league players wages

What would a cheap import ala groves be on as a guess would it be in the $60k ball park??

if the d-league guys are earning say around $30k tops then i reckon it would be possible for a NBL to get a decent player from there, especially someone who is in there mid 20's or older as they are unlikely to crack the nba at that stage and double the money would have to be appeailing to atleast some of them wouldnt it?

The money is ridicolously low, especially considering people think that the players earn slightly less than the NBA Players. THEY EARN ALOT LESS! It is labelled a "minor league" remember and many people do not attend the games
NBA D-League salaries range from $12,000 - $30,000

The link above is an interesting american story about how the average salary for a grocery store manager in the U.S. is above what an NBA D-League player earns. Average Salary for Grocery Store Manager is $33, 392

This was taken from the story:

"The D-League pay scale is broken down into three segments.

- The "C" level players make between $12,500 and $14,000.

- The "B" level players make between $18,000 and $20,000.

- The "A" level players make between $24,000 and $26,000"

The quality of the NBA D-League is still very high, and alot of solid college players who didn't get drafted, play in the D-League. Current players include Diamon Simpson, Deron Washington, Joey Dorsey, JamesOn Curry, Taylor Griffin (Blake's brother), Devon Hardin (Who at once stage in his career at Cal was considered a certain NBA Player), Michael Joiner, BJ Mullens, Mustafa Shakur, Cedric Simmons, Mark Tyndale as well, Carlos Powell and Romel Beck (dude that crossed up Kobe)

As the Artest trade went through last week, and Ron played for his new clubs over the weekend, it got me thinking...

Is there is a right and wrong time to change clubs? I think the only appropriate time to 'defect' is at the end of a season. Not only NBA, but right down to juniors.

Imagine training with a group for all pre-season, learning their sets, then going somewhere else. Or part way through a season.

the new clubs already got the scope on one team!

Does anyone else think this is wrong, or is anytime during the year ok to change?
