Hopefully they add one of those 2000s Spurs teams to the bunch...if we could somehow get 'long hair' Manu I would be stoked lol

That would be sick (for me) if the 08 lakers were in it too.

While none of these teams would be certain, I'd be SHOCKED if the Pistons or Suns were snubbed. Those 2 teams are dead locks for 2k16 if the 2003 Mavs and 2000 Blazers made it.

If the more recent angle is the route 2K's pursuing, I actually dig all of those choices, particularly the 2004 Pistons, 2002 Nets and 2007 Warriors. A signature Kenyon Martin dunk package would fill a void in my life.



Also, that 2003 Spurs team would be a great "Full Circle" squad, harking back to the beginning of an era.

I personally thought seeing the 2000 Suns could be fun too, still being in the Sunblast jersey era with Penny and a blond Jason Kidd to boot. I can't really justify their inclusion though - they didn't do anything. I suppose same goes for the 2006 Nets with Kidd, Vince Carter, and Richard Jefferson. I think they'd be a fun squad but perhaps only on a personal level.

IMO the 10 teams will be:

1. Detroit Pistons 2004
2. Phoenix Suns 2005
3. San Antonio Spurs 2003/2005
4. Los Angeles Lakers 2009
5. Houston Rockets 2007
6. Seattle Supersonics 2005/ Milwaukee Bucks 2001
7. Sacramento Kings 2002
8. Minnesota Timberwolves 2004
9. Indiana Pacers 2004
10. Miami Heat 2006/Olando Magic 2009

Especially with the Inclusion of Nash with the 02-03 Mavs and Rasheed of the 99-00 Trailblazers, You can not Include Sheed in the game without him being with the 03-04 Pistons when he actually won his first and only Ring!

I'm hoping for the 2005 Spurs team to be included. Long-haired Manu was an absolute beast that year.
