It's a little slow, so here's the game.
Basically, you're building your team using their actual salaries. You need at least 13 players and it has to fit under the salary cap. To make the math a little easier, let's make it $60 million. Other rules: 1) No more than one of these suerstar caliber players, defined below. No Miami Heat imitators here. Lebron Durant Wade Kobe Dwight Paul Rose Westbrook Love 2) Only two guys on rookie contracts that start, and only one that's "star caliber". No gaming the system by taking Kyrie Irving, Blake Griffin, James Harden and Anthony Davis as your starting lineup around Lebron. Use your judgement on "star caliber", I don't feel like doing a whole list. If you think he might be a star, he probably should count as one. 3) You are choosing an actual team, so you actually need big men. No teams made entirely of perimeter players. Here is a good link for NBA salaries: Hoops Hype Salaries. Use their 2012/2013 salaries. You can assume options are picked up (not qualifying offers), but try to avoid guys with no numbers for next year. Also, since some people here will probably want to use him and his salary isn't listed on that site, use $16.325 mil as Derrick Rose's salary (best estimate). |

Fighting my way through this is making me see the disgusting amount of money bad players make!

Jeremy Lin is a nice loop-hole until he gets his new cotract.
