ChumpDumper, do you know what is D-League playoff format ?

Clippers haven't re-signed Barrett and they will try to sign Smush Parker when he will clear waivers. Let's hope he will decide to come back in D-League.

It would be nice to get Barrett back. Still a little perplexed by the presence of Eric Dawson on the road. I can only guess he's really close to coming back. The Toros will have to waive someone if they both rejoin the team.

As for the playoffs, they are greatly expanded this season:

Playoffs: The winners of all three divisions as well as the three teams with the next best records will qualify for the D-League playoffs. The two division winners with the best records will receive a first-round bye, while the remaining four teams will play in a one-and-done format. The winners will face the two teams that received byes, also in a one-and-done game, for the right to advance to the D-League Championship. This year's championship will be a best-of-three series. The team with the better record will host games two and three (if necessary).

Thanks. So Austin has a good chance to get a first round bye.
It will maybe allow Mahinmi to play both NBA garbage games that Spurs could have and D-League playoffs.
