A source of frustration for many NBA fans is the fact that since the 1979-80 season, only nine teams have won rings. My thought: blacklist them all.

Choose players from 1979-80 to present, but no Bulls, Celtics, Heat, Lakers, Mavs, Pistons, Rockets, Sixers, Spurs. They're all blacklisted.

In addition, your players must come from 12 different franchises (using the 'franchise soup' idea I've seen in the baseball sim.) You could have Stockton or the Mailman but not both. No clones, no waiver wire, no rookies.

We should see some different teams here. Some cookies are totally gone (Wilt, Rodman) and the best years are gone for others (Shaq, Lebron, MJ)

Should be fun! See you there.

Four in, 20 to go...

To clarify, as an example I'll use Michael Jordan.

So, if I were to select Jordan as my player, that means I couldn't select any of his years playing with the Bulls, but I could select his years playing with the Wizards?

That's correct.

what a bummer that I couldn't use Barkley's sixer years despite the fact that the sixers never won **** with him...

How's this league looking? is it dead? full? Interested but need a status check. 

I've been eyeing this one and have been tinkering with a line-up but don't know where things stand - I hope it's still on - I find this theme a decent puzzle

Yup, it's dead. Sorry.
