no way a 37 mil cap is going to work well for this league....i don't know if you have played basketball since the last update, but 47 Mil is the new 42 Mil.  It isn't just a challenge to build this team at 37 Mil, it would not be fun....I would play it at 47 maybe 42.

Yeah, I was thinking that myself.  My initial thought was to keep the cap low so every team every season was viable.  But $37mil just seems too low.  I created a few dummy teams last night and was left thinking the same thing.  Pluswise, there is a multitude of options AND hopefully the GC from admin to keep the lower tier squads viable.  I like $47mil, consider it done.

Thank you for the input malone9975. 

Also, I tried this league one time before.  It got 1/3rd of the way full and ultimately didn't take.  I am trying it again because I really like the concept and I hope this fills.  This keeps realism, with a touch of a progressive league, plus adds theme league flair with the twisting. 

I am in with the 85-86/87-88 Chicago Bulls

I'd take the 85/86 - 87/88 76ers

50+ teams ash, there's another team out there that can run with those 76ers.  I was actually spit-balling the 76-79 Clippers of all teams.  The post on that option is bonkers (Moses Malone, Bob McAdoo, Marvin Barnes, Swen Nater, Kermit Washington, George T. Johnson) a couple of good scorers (Adrian Dantley, Lloyd "World B." Free) and a decent PG (Brian Taylor, Randy Smith).  No big assist guys I see (Chuck WIlliams is reasonable I think if you had a slew of guys with a handful of dimes), but there certainly are a few guys who can hit the 3 (Free, Taylor & Smith all have usable seasons in this format where they hit 70+ 3's) and a bunch of role players who hit a higher rate of treys (DiGregorio, Claude Terry, Jim Price, Ted McClain).  You can make a contender.  WIth the Clippers.  From the 70's. 

There's plenty of big fish

I haven't taken the old-school Clips mind you.  Just perusing the teams currently..

I considered the 80's Rockets, but couldn't pass on that Sixers squad.

Yeah I almost did that, but Olajuwon is a tough guy to build a team around.  If you take him you almost need an extra 400 mins at Center for all of the foul trouble he would get in.  Olajuwon's highest scoring game was 50 in the 89-90 season against the Nuggets and he fouled out in overtime (I was at the game, it isn't like I hold that info in my head randomly).  So you end up needing to draft a team with 20k mins.
