If Long Island Nets are going work, Brooklyn Nets need to change D-League philosophy

When the Nets announced their return to the D-League a few weeks back, there were many positives.

The Long Island Nets will play their games in the two best venues any D-League club has ever played in: Barclays Center in the first year; then the revamped Nassau Coliseum after that. For the first time in years, an NBA team and its D-League affiliate will play double-headers -- a lot of them. That first year, they will practice at the HSS Training Center, the most modern facility any D-League team has ever practiced in. The development staffs of parent and affiliate will essentially be integrated.
