directly linked with NBA franchises but for video games. http://www.nba.com/article/2017/05/04/nba-2k-esports-league-17-nba-teams-participate-inaugural-season. These NBA teams have invested money in the 6 figures to have the teams. Sources say players for teams will make good money. There is going to be a draft for the league because it has to be fair. Scouts have been watching streams of people playing to see who’s good because they only want the best talent in the world. In early February, there will be a draft. The best 85 players on the game will be put onto NBA teams. Scouts for the game have gave out information saying that players will be put onto meal plans, workout plans, and other such things. Players will be expected to practice 8 or more hours per day. Scouts have claimed that players will not have time for school or a job because of the time they need to commit.
Travel
Because the players are playing for a city, they will have to travel to the cities they play for. So rather than sitting in their house playing the game online, the game will be played in the arena of the NBA team. These players will get a lot of free team apparel as a result of being part of the organization. The cities teams will have to travel to are listed here; Boston, Cleveland, Dallas, Detroit, San Francisco, Indiana, Memphis, Miami, Milwaukee, New York, Orlando, Philadelphia, Portland, Sacramento, Toronto, Utah and Washington. If I had the choice to be drafted by any team, it would be my home team of Toronto. Even though it would be great to travel to southern states, I would rather represent my home team.
