NBA 2K In-Game Historic Team Ultimate Roster Reference Guide

I have always been a big fan of the historic teams rosters and completing them as accurately as possible. On the ps3 era I did the rosters quite often and hope to do so again someday, anyway below I compiled the roster for each team to help myself and other creators make the most accurate rosters as possible. I gathered all this info using basketball reference and realgm and tried to include players whose draft rights are owned if a team needs a 14th man for myleague, These players will be marked with a * and explanation. These rosters are supposed to be based off the playoff/championship roster for the team so that is the way I am determining the roster spots for teams. I will list the final roster then team transactions of waived and traded players for the year underneath. For the earlier teams it may be difficult to get the 14 man minimum for Myleague so I listed as many options as I felt made sense. If the team has 14 already no Myleague options are needed.
