2K17 Classic Teams post-mortem... What's your historic wish list for 2K18?

http://www.forbes.com/sites/brianmaz.../#7aa502524ddb

No new classic teams confirmed, though apparently they touched up some of the players already in the game.

I know we did something similar last year, but I thought I'd try a more structured idea: given that we're staring at a possible lockout next year and when that happens, 2K has previously relied heavily on classic themes (ala 2K12), what are your top 10 most wanted historic teams for 2K18?

When listing teams, please list the bare minimum 8-man roster that you'd find acceptable from each team.

Maybe the 2K team will pay more attention this year. Who knows?

Teams:

1. 1993 Suns
Mark West
Charles Barkley
Cedric Ceballos
Dan Majerle
Kevin Johnson
Tom Chambers
Danny Ainge
Oliver Miller

(Omitted Richard Dumas due to his legal troubles)

2. 1998 Pacers

Rik Smits
Dale Davis
Chris Mullin
Reggie Miller
Mark Jackson
Dale Davis
Travis Best
Jalen Rose

3. 2005 Spurs

Nazr Mohammed
Tim Duncan
Bruce Bowen
Brent Barry
Tony Parker
Robert Horry
Manu Ginobili
Glenn Robinson jr.

4. 2002 Kings

5. 1983 Sixers

All of those would be great additions. Personally, I want the 2000 Lakers and 2000 Kings teams.

Would also like some classic Kentucky teams if they're going to start adding classic college teams.

First I want 2k to correct the existing teams players cyberfaces, jerseys and acessories. After that, let's talk about new teams.
I don't enjoy a game that depicts Detroit and Boston jerseys with the names "Boston" and "Detroit" in their front instead of "Celtics" and "Pistons". That is an insult, really.

I wanna see a Kidd Nets team and a 1992 or '93 Nets team

1992 Nets.
Bowie
Coleman
Morris
Petro
Anderson
Blaylock
Dudley
Mills

Kenny and Mookie running the point, Petro spotting up, DC posting up, Morris just dunking all over everyone..... would love that

I'd settle for '93.... no Mookie, but similar team and Kenny would be better.
Hell, '94 would be pretty good too, No Petro but Edwards, Gilliam and PJ Brown were there.

At two weeks before launch isn't this more of a pre-mortem than a post-mortem?
