Just a clarification Ben - you have the Charlotte and New Orleans franchise on one line then the New Orleans Pelicans on another. It should be just one correct, can't also just the Pelicans on their own?

You’re right, I had planned on it being one line. That’s what it is in Old Skool. But maybe the pelicans are good enough in their own. What do people think?

It should be two separate franchises. The original Charlotte Hornets became the New Orleans Hornets, spent a couple of seasons playing most of their games in Oklahoma City, then became the New Orleans Pelicans. After the original team went to New Orleans there was an expansion Charlotte Bobcats team, which reclaimed the Hornets name after New Orleans became the Pelicans.

On top of that there was the New Orleans Jazz, who moved to Utah.

I was always undecided which franchise name makes the least sense between the New Orleans Jazz moving to Utah, but keeping the Jazz name and the Lakers moving away from “The Land of 10,000 Lakes” and keeping the name Lakers in Los Angeles. At least they have alliteration.

Jazz in Utah is funny weird - but Lakers in LA is just plain dumb.

You have ABA listed as a separate franchise. There are good Bobby Jones seasons from the ABA and good Julius Erving seasons from the ABA. The Erving seasons are from before he went to Philadelphia, but how are these Bobby Jones seasons going to be treated? Are they part of Denver or part of the ABA?

Not to speak for Ben, but as a frequent Old Skool league participant this was handled as ABA = all ABA franchises. And franchises such as Denver, Indiana and the Nets get their ABA players. BBR has the Brooklyn Nets going back through Jersey and NY. And Denver and Indiana go back to their ABA inceptions. ABA is a bit low on WIS level talent so including all of them makes it somewhat comparable.
