As for the last 4 picks. Can we make it universal for all the teams. Like all bench players.

I'd say let each person pick. Partly because I've been operating on the assumption that I get to pick my full roster and partly because I don't see why not.

Apparently we are finished?

I'm fine with the same last 4. As long as we have at least one guard, one forward, and one big because I still need a guy who can spot some PG minutes and I'm sure others have the same problem for another position.

If not, damn, I wanted Phil Ford. Was going to go with an all Carolina last 4 and Phil was on the top of my list. He would have been a truly great PG had it not been for injuries and, then later down the line, alcohol problems.

Here are my suggestions for some serviceable players.

G : Damon Stoudamire
F: Jerry Stackhouse
F: Derrick Coleman
C: Alvan Adams

I don't know how to set up a sim league team, can someone show me please?

Not sure if you need an account. I think you do.

But...
1) Go to this link:
[URL="http://www.whatifsports.com/dreamteams/"]http://www.whatifsports.com/dreamteams/[/URL]

2) Scroll down to "National Basketball Association (NBA)" and click on "NEW TEAM" You may need to delete an old team if you have already created the max of 3 Dream Teams.

3) Click on "click to draft" and draft your players. Search by inputting the first and/or last name. Or team or year, I suppose. Remember to draft the player's rookie season since that's what we are doing. It naturally sorts by salary, not year.
--Maybe you guys know the rookie season off the top of your head. I don't for most of them. What I have been doing is typing in the last name, highlighting the player's entire name when the search completes, right click, search google for, and clicking on basketball ref to check the year. Do as you please.

4) Enter your "Teamname" and "Home Arena". I don't believe either has a role in how your team performs. You can change your players if you accidentally draft the wrong one later. However, you can't change your name and arena without deleting the entire team.

5) It should take you back to:
[URL="http://www.whatifsports.com/DreamTeams/default.asp"]http://www.whatifsports.com/DreamTeams/default.asp[/URL]
Which then you find your team, click on the green + sign, and scrimmage and change line ups.

6) To change your lineup, just click on "Edit Depth Chart", which is located under your team. I think you need to allow pop ups if you have the should not be spoken word on ISH installed in your browser. Self explanatory in there. Move players around, and adjust the minutes until each position has 48 total minutes played. Click on the "Set Depth Chart" at the bottom of the page when you're finished.

7) Then to practice, there's the "Historical", "Dream Teams", and "Search" tabs. Historical to play a real team from the past, "Dream Teams" to play a team you created (similar to the one you just made, except I don't think you can play your own team), and search to play a specific team, including other people's dream teams. That's the one I would use to practice against the lineups of other people in this league.

8) To do that, click on the "Search" tab, under "Type", change "Historical Teams" to "Dream Teams", then type in the team name. Obviously we will need to post our team names in this thread after we are done creating them.

9) After you choose the opponent, you can click on the blue arrow to swap the home to the away and vice versa. Then check "Generate Play-by-Play" if you want a PBP and hit "Play Game". The result should pop up with the box score. Sim as many as you want or change opponents by click "Change Away" or "Change Home", depending on which is which.

That's about it. Although we can't truly complete rosters until the last 4 are decided. You can still create your team now and edit the last 4 later. Like I just threw in 4 random Z letter players for now so I could step by step this.

Obviously if you want to edit later, find your dream team on the dream team page (the link I posted twice), click on the team name, and then "x" the players you want to remove and redraft.

Oh, I've done all that before with both of my teams (this one and an older one from a different draft). Just last night I lost 4-2 to the Heat with this rookie team. I thought we were setting up a league. I had Smush Parker, Chris Mihm, Luke Walton and Kwame Brown though so I'll switch them.

My teams called the Magic Birds
