So I was pretty pissed off when I made my last post, the OS forum search wasn't working at the time, but unfortunately searching OS doesn't provide any answers either. There are just a couple mentions in the giant threads and then this:
Freeze issue on draft lottery? - Operation Sports Forums
And that is really all I can find on the issue. It doesn't seem wide spread and it doesn't seem like there are any workarounds at all.
I'll put together a little wrap-up post with Charlotte's history over the course of the dynasty and officially put this to bed. Hopefully NBA2K11's gameplay will be as good as this year's with some dynasty improvements, and we can do this again next year
