Equal Opportunity League - Dead, again Topic

Equal Opportunity League II
 
I was doing some yardwork yesterday when I stubbed my toe on a metal box. One corner of the box was barely sticking out of the ground so I unearthed the rest of it. It was manuscripts by my boy Al Einstein from back in the day! Explaining space-time continuum and the pre-cursor to the super-string theory.
Anyhow, I've figued out how to manipulate the six dimensions that comprise our existence. I roamed back to nineteen eighty eight and kid-napped Charles Barkley, then traveled to nineteen ninety-eight. In nineteen ninety-nine I sent old, banged up Chuck and replaced him with the nineteen eighty-eight version. Then the super-fast, aggressive paint monster from nineteen eighty-eight stepped into the Houston Rockets line-up in nineteen ninety-eight and led them to the NBA championship!


I'm willing to share my knowledge of time travel with twenty three other competent owners. This league will be an all-time franchise league where you can use any season of any player who played in at least one game for your team. You can use any season of that player, regardless if the season you choose to use was with your franchise or not. All seasons of your franchise are available.
Hakeem Olajuwon, old and decrepid for the Raptors will now be a dream shaking, all-time all-defensive monster for the Raptors. Post knee-surgery, lackluster Penny Hardaway of the Miami Heat now becomes the sure-fire hall of famer we all saw before he left the Magic. You get the picture.


Once 24 owners have decided to join we will have a draft to decide teams. We will use this to decide draft order.

 
Rules

1.) DRAFT a franchise. You get any player who appeared in at least one game on that team in the history of the team. But you can use any season for that player, regardless of whether they played for your team or not (//www.basketball-reference.com/teams/), any year of that player that you like. No clones.
2.) You must use a arena from your franchise.
3.) You get $47 Mil to make your team, not the standard $42 mil.
4.) Must use a team name in franchise history. Keep it simple, EX: Oklahoma City Thunder, New Orleans Hornets, New York Nets.



This is the 2nd season of the EOL Restart - a league that ran successfully for many, many seasons.  Draft order for teams is based on previous year's finish - the champ picks first (but can't draft the same team he won with the previous year), then it goes from worst record on up.  New owners come in at the back of the pack - but don't worry, almost every single franchise has a legitimate shot at winning in this format.

***Note:  each of the combined franchises can be drafted twice (one in each conference).  This rule may change in future seasons, but at this time, I think every franchise is viable except for the two combined franchises... and a couple of those are very, very close.
