Hit up 2K Share. There's some good files on there that have the benches filled out for the classic teams (PortlandBlazer's file on here is really solid).

I want to use the 91 Lakers in Association Mode. Do I have to swap them with the current Lakers or can I take out, say, the Clippers and put the 91 Lakers in their place?

I don't blame you Sonics fans one-bit for making that move. Such a travesty that Seattle lost its team. I like the Thunder a lot and OKC is a good home for an NBA franchise, but the Seattle fans deserved a lot better.

I believe you can swap any team for any other.

Ok I have received quite a few PMs about how I brought the Sonics into Association.

First you need to go to the Manage Roster tab and go to either OKC's roster or 95-96 Sonic's roster. From there just trade every player on the two teams until the Sonics are comprised with Durant, Westbrook, Green, etc.

Next when you start a new Association, select custom league in the options. Then replace the Thunder with the Sonics.

Bam, welcome back home Sonics

This is a great idea. I hate the name "Thunder", and their logo is so cheesy. I'm definitely starting a new Association with the Sonics. Can't believe I didn't think of this before!

Has anyone else like me hardly gotten anywhere in Association mode because great new ideas like this one keep popping up?! I mean this game just has ENDLESS possibilities.

LMAO!! Now that is awesome story lol. I wish you would of posted a picture of Durant in the Sonics jersey. I have to try this out.

On another note, My friends last put on the **** series. They put the rest the debate of the Bulls vs the Current Laker Shaq. It was pretty. 7 game series. It was perfect. But in the the end...sort of disappointing. Kobe could not contain Jordan at all. worst part was Artest had no answer for Pippen. And then Rodman did exactly what the Celtics did as group did to Gasol in 08 finals. Make him disappear. 4 game sweep. Jordan averaged 40 while Kobe averaged a human 29 points and a lot of turnovers. lol

I really enjoyed that read. Nice one!

But I love the idea you used to put the Sonics with the Thunder's roster in association. Even though imma Celtics fan, I was mad when you guys gpt robbed.

When I get the game I'm going to add all of the Classic teams, but I'll just keep it to 3 Bulls teams and 1 Utah team. I'll run with 86 Bulls (try to build a team around MJ) and include the first year team of each 3 - peat. Something like this:

West
Memphis
96 Utah replaces NO
92 Portland replaces Minnesota
91 Lakers replace Golden State
96 Seattle replace Sac town

East
Atlanta replace Toronto
86 Boston replace Phliadelphia
94 New York replace New Jersey
Cleveland replace Cleveland
91 Bulls replace Indiana
90 Detroit replace Detroit
86 Bulls replace Charlotte

Not sure where to put the 72 win Bulls yet. I'll probably just replace Toronto and find a spot for Wilkins' Hawks.
Hopefully someone will have a PS3 classic roster with Bench players by then.
