Each NBA team has a minor league basketball team, but they just share it with other teams because they don't have enough prospects to fill each team, they only have 4 or so, not enough for a whole team.

it is amazing..how so many wanna be people...need a leader of the pack to enjoy a sport.  It is amazing how so many people can not respect a group of guys like themselves (humble and talented) who are awsome at the game of basketball.  It is amazing how we place the Kobe and the LaBroms of the world higher than anything or anyone.  Do they not talk and walk like the rest of us?  The Detroit Pistons are a great talented team and do not need a STAR because they are all STARS.

There are 450 NBA players (broken down into 15 players for each of the 30 teams).  \n\nAs the NBA has done away with the injured reserve, each team has 15 players that are eligible to play in every game.  However, teams must inform the NBA of the 12 active players they will be fielding in an hour before tip off.\n\nLastly, the minimum number of players that must dress for a game is 8.\n\nHope this was helpful.

Probably the same reason Oregon, North Dakota, South Dakota, Idaho, Wyoming, and others don't have an NFL team.\n\nThere are only 32 of them and 50 states.\n\nOr, add Cleveland to the list above without an NFL team and say there are only 31 of them.

Basketball can be played by as few as two players. However, organized basketball games include two teams comprised of five players per team. Each team can have more than five players, but only five players per team are allowed on the court at one time.\n\nThe team's head coach determines when players go in and come out of the game. Reserve players enter the game through a process called substitution. Substitutions can only occur when play stops, such as during a timeout or when the referee calls a violation.\n\nEach player on a team is categorized by position. There are five positions on a traditional basketball team: \n    * Point guard - This player is typically the best dribbler and passer on the team. The point guard is sometimes called the floor general, which indicates the key role that the point guard plays.\n\n    * Shooting guard - The shooting guard, also called the two guard, is typically a team's best outside shooter on the team. This player flanks the point guard and moves around the court to try to create some space to take a shot that is uncontested by the opposition.\n\n    * Power forward - The power forward is usually near the basket and moves from one side of the basket to the other to try to get free from the opposition player that is guarding him. Power forwards also are skilled rebounders.\n\n    * Small forward - The small forward is typically a better outside shooter than a power forward and is usually smaller than a power forward.\n\n    * Center - Traditionally, the center is the tallest player on the team. The center's role is to establish a position near the basket to allow him/herself an easy jump shot. On defense, the center attempts to block shots and grab rebounds.

Never was a negro league.\n\n      \n"Somebody might have put together a team like one of those for a night to play the Rens or a team in the NBL (National Basketball League). They'd get guys together and play for money and divide the profits. But an organized league? No."\n\nhttp://denmother.blogspot.com/2005/11/remembering-black-league-basketball.html

Yeah they have five players. Best five players in the NBA. Four out of the five are all stars. The fith should have been he's the best all around player of the five.

The announced this week that they are looking to put a team in Cleveland or St. Louis.  If a team goes into Cleveland, I'd think that it would not be likely that Detroit would get one.

I think if Tracy and yao could learn to play together better, and maybe get some more prominent players on the team. They dont need any All STARS, just some other players that could help them in times of need. 2 great players are not gonna do anything. just like the bulls when they had michael jordan, scottie pippen, dennis rodman, and such. and the lakers a couple years back and the pistons now. they have 5 or 6 good players. So no, rockets can not make it to the playoffs.

Never. They could never win the NBA title this decade becuase the oganization is constantly briging in unproven young players and getting rid of veteran ones. They need to give the guys they have time to grow and get better together. Look at the Detroit Pistons, they may not have the best player but they do have the best overall team. They got time to get better together and now look they have the best record in the East.

The best NBA team of all time would have to be the 2004 Detroit Pistons. Everyone is going to say the Bulls in the Jordan era, but would the Bulls be a good TEAM without Jordan. The 2004 Detroit Pistons played as a team with no big superstars to pave the way to the championship like the Chicago Bulls. \n\nWith all the great players in the NBA today having a team with no GREAT players go on and win a championship takes extreme teamwork. What the Detroit Pistons had in 2004 was special. They worked great as a team, played for the love of the game and for the thrill of victory.\n\nThe best NBA TEAM of all time would have to go to the 2004 Detroit Pistons who played smart and fought hard to win the championship title.

I think they have a better record.  It is a screwy way NBA does things.  they put a team that won their division ahead of somebody with better record but didn't win division but when they play, the team with the best record is home.

Here's the thing. If you look at the stat sheet for this season, I'm supposed to pick Dallas mavericks because 5 players average in double figures for this team with Dirk leading the way with 28 a game. On the other hand, if you look at the Heat's line-up, with the exception of Wade and Haslem, this team is a championship team when they were in their prime. Most of this players were franchise players from their old teams so you cannot count their heart out even if they have aged a bit. But like what I said, Miami without Wade and Haslem is already capable of winning a championship, so with them in the mix pretty much sums up my answer. Its the MIAMI HEAT who will emerge as the NBA CHAMPs this year because of this 2 guys. Nobody can guard D.Wade and U. Haslem can make life miserable for Dirk. These 2 things plus Miami's Veterans equals another ring for Shaq and the first ones for GP, Walker, ZO, D Wade and Company. \n\nHEAT in 7 and Dwayne Wade is MVP
