What are you talking about? The Cavs were the 9 seed Lebron's Rookie year.

LeBron was 22 in 2007 it was his 4th year in the league he was not a rookie when he took the Cavaliers to the Finals. Still a highly impressive feat.

Nick Van Exel on 98 Lakers. Assume he will be missing from 03 Mavs too. Hope I am wrong.

The Nets would of been a better fit than the Cavs. But oh well. I played with that Cavs team back in the day.

I'd be really bummed to see any of those 70's and 80's teams removed, for variety is the spice of life. There's so few 70's teams as it is, removing the ones we do have (the one with Pete Maravich, no less) would not be cool.

Regarding the 1985 Sixers team, Charles Barkley is a very easy player to create and add (bald guy, thin mustache, formerly with a lot of his signature styles in the game). Even without him, it's great to have an 80's Spectrum floor template and non-afro Julius Erving (and Moses Malone, Bobby Jones, and Maurice Cheeks).

In short, there's been zero indication that any teams have to go before new ones can be added, so until that becomes absolutely necessary, I do not support the removal of any classic teams.

I think the question we can ask ourselves is, "Would we have preferred 2K kept the 2002 Kings in the game, even without Chris Webber? Or are we glad they're gone?" Keeping that Kings team would have at least given us Mike Bibby, Bobby Jackson, and Peja Stojakovic with authentic jerseys, the actual Kings court that year, and the ability to create a Chris Webber if we chose. Instead, all those options are out the window because the team was pulled.

Just give me create a team with at least 15 slots, let me use NBA logos + uploaded logos, let me get some short shorts, give me WWE 2K16's photo face feature, and maybe double the amount of created players, and

BOOM, more teams.

These selection started off hot but kinda drifted to oh...okay at the end.
