GoErie.com has a story today on Darnell Jackson, who could end up being Erie's first assignee.

Erie is going to have a huge leg up on fellow expansion team Reno unless Reno lands a bigtime UFA.

It's good to see Ferry's starting to come around on the D-League. The D provides a perfect opportunity for the Cavs. A team with veteran talent that's competing for a title now, who need somewhere to develop young talent. This is perfect for them. They should send Hickson down, too, in my opinion. With Erie as close to Cleveland as it is, it could be a great opportunity to set up a true farm system.
