League Dynamics

Teams at the bottom of Division 2 will receive the top draft picks on five-year rookie contracts, enough time to rebuild, succeed, get promoted and re-sign their best prospects.

Teams in Division 1 will attract the best free agents.

Trading takes place between divisions as normal.

Solving Promotion/Relegation Superteams (avoiding a Real Madrid & Barcelona La Liga situation)

Salary Cap: set to the NBA's Salary Cap across both Divisions
Hard Cap: set low at 130% of the Salary Cap
