This is my view...And on the real, that's why it would be interesting to keep an average of three seasons for losing teams, instead of just one. Because u don't want to punish a team for having ONE bad season because a few players got injured...

Like I said, the only thing that would be a complete roadblock to relegation in the Minor/D Leagues is the owners being scared, greedy bitches...

Because trust...If you are a terrible team and u find yourself in the D League, you would make better decisions in terms of who you pick in the lottery, trades, and your finances (given that they will be limited)...

And as u said...Imagine those scrub ass teams playing their hearts out just to get out of the basement late in the season? Indeed...all the games would matter...
