Knowing that 2k has to individually bargain with every former player in order to make these teams a reality, that can prove to be a tough task. Not every former player is sitting on a mountain of cash lighting Cuban cigars with burning $100 bills like MJ could. Also not every former player is a gamer and values the importance of being included for authenticity's sake just for the fans. For some it's about getting the most money they can especially when they see an opportunity for some leverage(Pippen testing how much 2k is willing to pay for a complete DT roster).

Ultimately this is a business and knowing the unpredictable financial nature of trying to put these legend teams together I think people should be happy that they have had them for the last 2 years because I can't see 2k doing this for the long haul.

Well said.
