Players may not know enough about the many intriguing rosters that MyGM and MyNBA offer before their first play through of NBA 2K25, including a unique backstory in MyGM mode that sets initial attributes based on the player’s management style, a new Perks system, and the new experience of MyNBA that allows players to manage basketball teams from any era. No matter which mode you choose, here are ten of the most interesting franchises to choose from.

1. San Antonio Spurs

Victor Wembanyama showed the potential of a generational talent in his rookie season, attracting attention from all over the league. But his San Antonio Spurs finished a last season with a record of just 22 wins and 60 losses. To improve the situation, Spurs made key improvements in the draft, including selecting Stephon Castle with the fourth overall pick and several other promising rookies. In addition, they also acquired point guard Chris Paul, who may be a future Hall of Fame candidate, through a trade.

Although Western Conference is highly competitive, building a team around a superstar like Wembanyama will be a big attraction. Not to mention, Spurs also have NBA Champion Gregg Popovich.

2. Houston Rockets

Udoka led Celtics to NBA Finals in his first season as a coach, showing his tactical talent. So I believe that under the guidance of head coach Ime Udoka, Houston Rockets will rise quickly. In addition, the expiration of the contract of veteran point guard Fred Van Fleet in a year will release a lot of money for the team.

In NBA draft, Houston selected the exciting guard Reed Sheppard with the third pick. Although there are still several unknowns about the team’s final lineup, it is still an attractive project for players.

3. Charlotte Hornets

Charlotte Hornets has failed to make the playoffs for eight consecutive years. NBA legend Michael Jordan sold most of his shares in Hornets in 2023. Under the new leadership and the talented young coach Charles Lee, Hornets are preparing to change their destiny.

Last season, the team failed to achieve the expected achievements because of injuries. But the healthy LaMelo Ball has the confidence and ability to control the game, and Brandon Miller proved that he can score easily from all positions on the court in his rookie season. With the powerful support of Mark Williams and Miles Bridges, Hornets are expected to end this long playoff drought, which is an exciting challenge for those who are eager to end this historical record.

4. Los Angeles Lakers

With LeBron James approaching his 40th birthday and Anthony Davis as a big man with a history of injuries, Lakers’ prospects are less clear. Other teams in Western Conference are constantly improving, while Los Angeles seems to be in an uncertain transition period.

Since Lakers do not have a first-round draft pick until 2026, it means that the team will face an enormous challenge to plan for the future once James retires. Still, the team has two superstars, so the players will have to accept the current roster and take some steps to become a championship contender.

5. Utah Jazz

Utah Jazz once signed Lauri Markkanen to a huge contract. But many contracts will expire at the end of the next year or the following season, which gives Jazz ample financial space to pursue any top free agents they wish.

Utah has eight first-round picks in the next three seasons, which provide opportunities for large trades. The team will have great flexibility in future lineup adjustments by allocating 2K25 MT as you think it will be.

6. Chicago Bulls

Although Bulls have neither obtained top draft picks nor made significant achievements in the playoffs since 2021. But in the recent draft, Chicago Bulls selected potential rookie Matas Buzelis with the 11th pick. Coby White also made significant progress last season.

The reason this team’s reconstruction is attractive enough is that there are some issues that need to be adjusted, including the trading of Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic in exchange for future assets and solving the problem of how to deal with Lozo Ball, whose career has been frustrated by serious injuries.

7. Toronto Raptors

Toronto Raptors could not reach the heights of their 2019 championship run after losing Kawhi Leonard. Still, Raptors have some promising players who are under contract for at least three years. And with several unknowns on the roster, finding a way to combine all of them will have the potential to lead Toronto to another NBA Finals appearance.

8. Detroit Pistons

Detroit Pistons are coming off their worst season in franchise history at 14-68. But with promising rookies like Scottie Barnes, Immanuel Quickley, and R.J. Barrett, you can take advantage of them to lead this team to continued success.

9. Portland Trail Blazers

Portland Trail Blazers’ roster is currently lacking enough to compete. Scoot Henderson and Shaedon Sharpe are the few glimmers of hope for Portland’s future. While rebuilding Portland Trail Blazers won’t be easy, the fact that they will have a chance to participate in Cooper Flagg lottery in the next NBA draft could be a turnaround for the team.

10. Washington Wizards

Rebuilding this team will come with a lot of difficulties. Jordan Poole was considered one of the most disappointing players in the league last year, and his huge contract with three years left on it has made matters worse. Kyle Kuzma’s value has also shrunk. Although Washington has been unsuccessful in developing rookies, Washington Wizards are excited about Alex Sarr, the rookie they selected with the second overall pick in 2024.

So, are you ready? It’s time to start your NBA 2K25 MyGM and MyNBA journey!
