Is the D-League a Successful Minor League?
Published 3/19/2008 by Tom Ziller at FanHouse
Filed under: Cavaliers, ClevelandHardwood Paroxysm got to talk to new Cleveland Cavalier Lance Allred, an alum of the D-League's Idaho Stampede. One particular slice from Allred made me consider the state of the Developmental. The D-League is a different experience. You've got guys constantly trying to see where they're at for call-ups, coaches, trying to balance politics with the experience. Coaches want jobs. Players want jobs.

Hat tip to Hardwood Paroxysm for the previous link. Also check out HP for an interview with Allred. Seriously the brief poker game anecdote is awesome. Devin ...
