Which NBA team should I start with in NBA 2K8?

Question

I want to start a franchise in NBA 2K8. Thing is, I'm stuck between which team to start with. I don't want to start with a good team like the Celtics or Lakers, because then it won't be a challenge. The Celtics/Lakers are already good. I want to build a team. I want to start with a team with potential.

I was thinking either the Sixers or Grizzlies, mainly because both have lots of cap space. With the Sixers, I can build around Iguodala, and with the Grizziles, I can build around Gasol.

Any advice/tips?

Answer 1

How about the Warriors?

Answer 2

THE ROCKETS nice dynasty team.

Answer 3

I use portland . You can build around Oden/Roy/Aldridge

Answer 4

Well if you want a real challenge, you can start with the Knicks. But it's actually not too bad. In 2k8, the other gms aren't that smart. I was the Knicks, and I traded Nate Robinson, David Lee, and Zach Randolph to the Cavs for Lebron. But whichever team you choose, if you schedule practices enough and make them intense, you can improve any players rate to 99.

Answer 5

new orleans or chicago would be two great, young teams to start with. chris paul and tyson chandler (n.o.) or just the whole bulls team would be fun to play with for several seasons. who knows? maybe you could land the #1 pick after the season is done.

Answer 6

THe Warriors, entertaining, great fans, best

Answer 7

I play 2k8 a lot and I always start with the Bulls. They are an underachieving team with several young stars who get really good after a few years. You also have some good players off the bench. The only bad part is that they have a weak big man in Noah but you can trade to get someone like Tyrus Thomas for Larry Hughes of the bulls (Larry hughes for some reason is actually a good trade bait).

Kirk Hinrich/Deng/Nocioni are all 90 or above by the second year without that much training.
