Re-Draft 4: The Simulation

So why did we do all this drafting? Well, the simple answer, other than being bored and wanting to spend hours thinking about stats, is that we wanted to see what would happen to the league if a re-draft did occur. So at the end of all this, we decided to put the teams together on NBA 2K10 and see how a season would turn out. This wasn't easy, but after a couple of hours and of roster moves, we were able to simulate one season. So without further adieu, here are the results.
