NEW YORK -- Carmelo Anthony thinks the NBA should rebrand the D-League and invest more in developing our own players in the next collective bargaining agreement. Harry Carson Jersey .If I had it my way, Id rebrand the whole D-League, Anthony told ESPN. Id rebrand it so its not seen as a punishment.As vice president of the National Basketball Players Association, Anthony said he has been pushing for a major investment in and overhaul of the D-League to create more jobs for young players and strengthen the NBAs player development system.ESPNs Ian Begley and Dave McMenamin reported Sunday that there is rising optimism on both sides that a new CBA can be agreed upon well in advance of the unions Dec. 15 opt-out deadline, and possibly as soon as the end of this month.Anthony said a major issue he has been emphasizing in collective bargaining talks is increasing the number of two-way contracts that allow players to play for both D-League and NBA teams, thereby creating 44-60 more jobs. He said he also has been addressing increasing pay for D-League players to make it as lucrative to play domestically as abroad, and language that will encourage all 30 NBA teams to have a D-League affiliate.The D-League will grow from 19 to 22 teams this year, but the players eventually would like to see all 30 teams with their own affiliate, Anthony said.Im a big advocate of developing our own players. If you look at soccer, for example, a lot of those clubs have top-notch academies, said Anthony, who co-owns a professional team in Puerto Rico. By me being in soccer now, Ive started to understand the dynamics of developing your own players. Weve got to keep our players here. We dont want them to have to go overseas.
