-Have free agency be more of a career path selection and have it affect your legacy

Create a big 3? Discussions with the GM will tell what 2 players you will be joining
Pros: Great team mates and great coaches
Cons: Multiple championships expected, people questioning who was mainly responsible for those titles and individual accolades (MVP's etc) harder to get, things like allstar appearances and deep playoff runs are meaningless, championship or bust!

Loyal hometown hero?
Pros: Lower exceptions so deep playoff runs, MVP's, All-star appearances help toward building your legacy, 1 NBA title in this role might be enough to solidify you as a all-time great
Cons: Chances of getting good team mates and coaches are low and if by some chance you get one or two they'll only stay for a year or 2

Money Grab?
AKA playing for a big market team on a max deal.
Pros: More VC per game, more endorsements, other player taking pay-cuts to play there because it's a big market (not because of you)
Cons: Less cap room for the team to build around you, perceived as selfish by majority of the league and choosing "$ > Rings" will have a very negative affect on your legacy if you can't win multiple.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hopping between the paths is possible but has negative affects on your legacy...

Won multiple title as part of a "BIG 3" but couldn't get it done when you "went home"? The critics will say you couldn't get it done without players X and Y and if players X and Y continue to win titles without you...Your whole career and importance during those championship years will be called into question.

Thought you were the hometown hero but then went for the money grab? You will be booed out of the building every time you return to that arena and the sports reporters from that area will bury you every chance they get.

Went for the money grab first but then "went home"? Again you will be booed out of the arena you previously played in and the media in that area will bury you.

At the end of all this there should be a top 50 all-time NBA players ranking with the MyPlayer ranked depending on the above paths he chose and what he accomplished.
