Was bored at work other day babysitting a long conference call and I subtracted the latest 7 expansion teams from the NBA and kinda randomly drafted the talent from those teams and distributed them among the remaining 23 teams( the so called NBA heyday of the 1980's). I wish we could have the old NBA back minus the heat, hornets, magic, twolves, raptors, Grizzlies, and Pelicans. With every team not making the playoffs( only 9 teams in the lottery) it seems parity would be easier and if you had a poor team you wouldn't have to necessarily be hopeless for so long. Just dreaming..

History has shown there are always super teams and rarely parity.  The 70's are really the decade where there wasn't a truly dominant team and a lot of that was because of the ABA and the eventual merger. 
2025 Historical Draft - Cleveland Cavaliers - 1st pick

Starters - Luka, JB, Lebron, Wemby, Shaq
Rotation - D. Daniels, Mitchell, G. Wallace, Melo, Noah
Deep Bench - Korver, Turner
