The NBA wants each of its 30 teams to have a D-League affiliate and according to a report, the newest NBDL team will be located in Springfield, MA, and be affiliated with the Nets or 76ers. Springfield is the home of the Basketball Hall of Fame and birthplace of basketball. The report didn't specify if the so-far unnamed team would be owned by its NBA parent, as preferred by the league, or by investors.
