I need to know what choices are good for me or what you guys are currently doing.

The NYK are tons of fun

I'm using the Raptors because I like a challenge but it's kinda boring because the team has no player to focus around.

Kings are nice to use...Tyreke Evans and Demarcus Cousins are great young players to build around.

Warriors and Wizards are a lot of fun. Warriors got Steph Curry, Monta Ellis, and David Lee already and are just a couple pieces away from being a very good team to be honest. Also, Wizards have John Wall, a great young PG who is a lot of fun to play with. Or you can go with the young and already competing Thunder who have Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant, and Jeff Green along with other good young pieces. Just keep building around those 3 players and you should have yourself a very good franchise.

havent started an association yet, but the Wolves would be my choice, I cant imagine how much fun it will be, but my loyalty knows no limit.

Well, I already was thinking of the Warriors, but excaliber has gotten me into the idea of the Kings.... Anymore options?

The Celtics can be a fun team to use in Association because there are two directions you can go in: 1) Stick with the big three until retirement and build around Rondo and Perkins or 2) Scrap the idea of the big three all together and push the team towards whatever direction you want it to go.

Your spurs would be fun too. those guys don't have much time left.

That's true! Once the Spurs big three retire there will be a nice amount cash to use in FA and drafts. The problem is it wouldn't be too realistic to get rid of anybody but Parker(which I no problem doing) right away now that George Hill has proven himself a capable PG and the rumors that he wants to go to NY. Duncan and Manu are such great players that look like they will continue to produce solid numbers until retirement. So you're almost forced to stick it out with the massive contracts they have for a 4 or 5 more years.

I'm in year 3 of Association rebuilding the Wizards and Kings. Kings are now a top team in the West with Tyreke and Cousins, and I also traded for Josh Smith and picked up Shawn Marion and Marcus Camby from Free Agency, and drafted Tristan Thompson, Ricky Rubio and James McAdoo.

Wizards have been challenging. I traded Gilbert Arenas and a couple other guys for Amare Stoudemire after year 1, but made the mistake of hanging on to Al Thornton, Nick Young, and Andray Blatche. While they're all solid, none of them progressed very much. Should have hung on to Yi Jianlian, he's now like a 76 or 77 for the Knicks.

Wall is a blast to play with though. He's been an All-Star his first two years in the league. And I drafted another UK guy - Michael Gilchrist - after last season and he looks like another future All-Star. I'm currently looking to trade Amare', who's about to hit 30 year old mark in my Association

The Bulls are just fantastic. I play around 25 games a season and the playoffs and i'm now heading into my 5th year.

Boozer has stayed healthy which has both baffled and relieved me. I held on to Luol for a couple of season before I got tired of him (I don't know how to play him if i can't get his jumper going) and managed to trade him and a 1st round pick for danny granger. This catapulted me into the contender status. My bench was fresher than fresher. Brewer, Korver (3pts), Mbah a Moute and amazingly, rudy fernandez who'd had a gut full of portland apparently.

Resigned Derrick Rose mid season that year for a pittance as well. It didn't feel right, but it gave me the cap room to sign Brandon Jennings. My current line up reads: Rose, Jennings, Granger, Boozer (slowing down) and Joakim Noah.

Teams are lucky to put up 80 points against me. I'll be contending for many seasons to come me thinks.

Use the Wizards. Every time you score with wall you can get up and dance.
