I've got the Nets, Clippers, Kings, Cavs, Pacers, Grizzlies, Wizards, and Timberwolves without, plus the Pelicans and Thunder if we want to include them.

Ya count me in as one of those people who would be really bummed out
if the last 2 teams are a late 2000s Lakers team or a Spurs team.
Even though they were great teams they just wouldnt be fun enough
to use plus their fairly recent and dont come with interesting teammates
that could be used to build other classic teams ourselves.

They used to have a classic Cleveland team and kings squad too.

Ah, yes, 1990 Cavaliers may still be in, I believe. Totally slipped my mind, thank you. And yeah, the 2002 Kings were a nice one to have, bummed to see them go.

I'd love the 09 Lakers but tbh they could probably just be made with the players already on the game, same could have been said bout 13 Heat, two waste of spots if the Lakers get included

I just hope they allow us to clone players

# 206 DutchMastah7 @ 09/04/15 08:56 AM

Yeah the Cavs still have their team. Kings or T'Wolves need one though. LD did say that there's always room for more. I wonder if he was hinting at possible DLC. Or maybe adding in some next year.

# 207 kpeltz96 @ 09/04/15 08:28 PM

I'll be surprised if they don't include a spurs team. Other teams that would be cool would be the maybe the 09 nuggets, 09 magic, or the 07 warriors.

Sorry if answered but will the 05 subs have the 7 seconds or less offense ?

I think a Spurs team either 03 or 05 would be fun. The 05 Spurs had one of the best defenses of all-time and Glen big dog Robinson was on that team albeit past his prime. For me, I dont care much for the 05 Suns, 00 Raptors, 03 Mavs, and the 08 Rockets. And I hope we dont get the 04, 09 or 10 Lakers teams either, although I like that the 01 Lakers are finally in.

There are teams in 2k that are not fun and I hardly ever use like the 85 Bucks, the 90 Cavs, the 71 Hawks.

Yea not going to happen. Miller and Barkley don't want to be in the game. I don't know the reason for Miller. But Barkley has stated numerous times that he won't be in an NBA videogame until the NBA changes how they deal with their retired players. And the Dream Team year (2K12, I think) he was only in the game because Jay-Z called him personally and convinced him to do the game.

I believe it was stated somewhere that all 12 new teams were going to be from 2000 on forward. Separately, as others have said, I believe the Pacers' absence likely has to do with Reggie Miller's unwillingness to cooperate more than being an active slight on 2K's part.

Yea I really love any new additions to the classic teams list, but I love the direction they are going with the 2000 teams, these are the teams I grew up with, and I think would appeal to most of the 2k crowd. Like you, I never play with alot of the older teams. And those 80's Lakers teams aren't any fun without Kareem.

Didn't that Run Tmc group feature Sprewell and a young Chris Webber too, those are big omissions.

Neither Sprewell nor Webber were on the Run TMC Warriors

Actually I really only play with the older teams just not the ones I mentioned. I agree that the 87 Lakers are no fun without Kareem. I started watching the NBA in the late 80s and being from Chicago of course I was an avid Bulls fan. I would watch all those videos of teams that won the finals when espn aired them. I am glad to see that the classic teams expanded from the 60s to the present. I am all about the classic teams.

Spreewell and Weber were not run Tmc as someone mentioned already. I think they were 94-95
