Bringing Back the Sonics: 2K18 Expansion MyLeague

[hoopla32]

Roster: OS_Kings Playoff Roster
Sliders: Schnaidt's 2K18 Sliders
MyLeague Settings: Schnaidt's
Quarter Length: 12 Minutes
Playoffs: 7-7-7-7

Rundown and Setup
I like to do this any time I do a 2K MyLeague thread because I always do things a little out of the ordinary. So, for this MyLeague, here are my plans:

- 30 Team Control: I will not be playing games for any team but the Virginia Beach Neptunes. However, this does allow me to set lineups and control things a little more and make them as realistic as possible for the other 31 teams.

- Draft Classes: Right now I plan on using the following historic draft classes in this order: 2018, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, and 1996. After that I will use a 2019 draft class and possibly a 2020 class if I can find one I like. So yes, there will be historic draft classes mixed into this MyLeague.

- Game Play vs. Simulation: I am a father of a two year old and a newborn, which means I do not have the time or interest to play 60-80 full games each season. What I like to do is play, in full, 5-10 big games each season and then SimCast the first three quarters of most other games and then jumping in and playing the fourth quarter.

- 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 Seasons: I will simulate the entire 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 seasons. I want to get a point where I at least have a couple of players that are enjoyable to play with and build around. The first year or two my roster is going to be made up of mostly below-average players on 1-year contracts. I'm in full-blown tank mode and not ashamed of it.

June 1, 2016

It's official, 10 years after moving to Oklahoma City, the Seattle Supersonics are returning to the NBA. NBA commissioner Adam Silver announced today the official expansion of the National Basketball Association. Along with the return of the Sonics, the Pittsburgh Hammers will be joining the league.

The Sonics will be joining the Northwest Division in the Western Conference as the Oklahoma City Thunder slide over to the much more geographically appropriate Southwest Division. The Pittsburgh Hammers will join the Atlantic Division.

The expansion draft for the 2017-2018 season will be held on June 20th, 2017.
