The Armor joins the rest of the D-League in Reno this week for the league's annual Showcase, the most heavily scouted event of the season.
All 16 teams will participate in 16 games over four days and individual players will compete in contests similar to those at NBA All-Star Weekend.
The Armor goes into the event with an 8-8 record following their loss to the Knicks' D-League affiliate, the Erie BayHawks, in Springfield Saturday. Like their parent club, the Armor shot less than 40% overall. Nets camp invites JamesOn Curry and Jerry Smith led the Armor. Smith has 26 points and 10 rebounds and Curry an increasingly typical 17, 9 and 7 assists.

Is the NBA D-League like the MLB Minor League???
In the sense that we have the rights to the players on our D-League team? Or can other NBA teams sign them away from us? I’ve always wondered about this. From what i gather any team can sign any D-Leaguer which in my eyes defeats the purpose of having a farm system. Why even have a draft or Pro teams affiliated to them if anyone can sign anyone.
I’m guessing that maybe we are able to match any offer??
It's like a giant farm system...
This is from Wiki..
Players for NBA D-League teams do not sign contracts with the individual teams, but with the league itself. D-League team rosters consist of a total of 12 players, 10 (or fewer) being D-League players and 2 (or more) NBA players. The rosters are made up in a number of ways: the previous years’ players, players taken in the D-League draft, allocation players (meaning players who are assigned to a team with which they have a local connection, such as a University of Texas player being assigned to the Austin Toros), NBA team assignments, and local tryouts. Each NBA team can assign two first or second year players to its affiliated D-League team. If more than two NBA players are assigned to a team, the team must reduce the number of D-League players to keep the total roster size to 12. An NBA player will continue to be paid his NBA salary and will continue to be included on his NBA team’s roster on the inactive list while playing in the D-League.14 Each team also has local tryouts, and one player from the tryouts is assigned to the team. The minimum age to play in the NBDL is 18,15 unlike the NBA which requires players to be 19 years old and one year out of high school in order to sign an NBA contract or be eligible for the draft. The highest player ever to be assigned is Hasheem Thabeet, the second player selected in the 2009 NBA draft.
NBA teams can call up players as many times as they choose, but an NBA player can be assigned to the NBA D-League only three times in a season. Starting in 2012–13, there will be no limit to the number of times an NBA players with three years or less experience can be assigned to the D-League. Starting in 2011–12, veteran NBA players can be assigned with their consent.16
