Seems like enough top-end talent if you go back to the 60s.

AI creation of eight NBA eras for 1960-2025. My first thought was drafting one player from each era. But each manager being limited to two eras might make for more interesting strategy. Do you dive into more modern talent rich eras or go into a lesser era where you'll have less competition?

The Celtics Dynasty Era (1960-1969)

The ABA Merger and Turbulent Times (1970-1979)

The Magic vs. Bird Renaissance (1980-1989)

The Michael Jordan Dynasty (1990-1998)

The Post-Jordan Big-Man Era (1999-2007)

The Superteam and Perimeter Revolution (2008-2013)

The Warriors and Three-Point Revolution (2014-2019)

The Player Empowerment and Modern Era (2020-2025)
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy
