Launching in the summer of 2017.
League President Mark Aguirre, "We’re thrilled to announce this powerful team lineup — these great talents, players straight out the NBA (who) are passionate about the game and have ties to the region. Ultimately, we are creating highly competitive play and connecting fans to these exciting games and athletes they love."
Teams include Al Harrington, Shawn Marion, Kenyon Martin, Eddy Curry, Kareem Rush, Tyshawn Taylor, Jamaal Tinsley, Terrence Williams, Josh Childress, Daniel Gibson and Renaldo Balkman.
The teams will play exhibition games and in charity events prior to the start of the inaugural season. To keep the level of competition high, the league is limiting its search to players who have appeared on NBA rosters, The Post reported. Players can join if it’s been one to three years since they last appeared in the NBA, and the window is extended to five years for former All-Stars.
The CBL, according to The Post, will pay players for each day of service. A player who appears in every game and is a member of the championship club can make up to $350,000 for the summer league.
