I wouldn't expect this...

So basically we will finally be able to freely edit the classic rosters, add trade, release players etc, but we can't play with the new 45 legends outside of the legends showcase? I still feel like we shouldn't have to pay for the option to edit greatest teams rosters. Damn 2K what's the deal, why take on step forward and two steps back? You know we want to play with those new legends in all of the other modes also, why do that to your fans????

This is certainly the best roster of all time great players ever seen in a sports video game. It's not cheap to license all of these old players..if people want them to continue including all time greats in future games, then stop complaining about 10 bucks

No, you will be able to edit the rosters and classic teams. Per the developers blog on FB:

"And finally, don’t forget that with the Legends Showcase, you will open up a new option in the Online portion of the main game called Classic Quick Match. This gives you a chance to play online with all of the NBA’s Greatest teams in a standard simulation setting. This is completely outside of the Times Square, cell-shaded DLC environment and with only these all-time teams to choose from, it will hopefully help maintain an even playing field. Additionally, you’ll also have full roster control over all those NBA’s Greatest teams so you can bring them into Association mode, or edit, trade, and release players, you can do all that too."

I don't think that was what the poster said. He thought you could bring the new players from the DLC into Create a Legend mode, which I don't think you can.
