I pulled out the main point and then within that the prime, unless it was 2-3 players only this is the best way to get a gutted team up and running. Be on another team and many of the players come to your team due to owner quiting/selling/giving up... yes you can recruit but unless you know a lot of people or are on a lot of teams it will be an up hill battle.
No that's not a good conclusion. We went from a 3-13 team to a 10-6 team before getting the players from the gutted team, just straight recruiting after only 1 full season with me as owner. Reread the following.

I did manage to win 3 games, a franchise record, including 2 of the final 3, which kind of went hand-in-hand with how I just kept working on improving the team little by little every day.
What I did between season 4 and 5 is just stay the course. Again, only 1 team came down to my Conference and only 1 team went up. But I had a good core in place who understood the rebuilding process and saw the light at the end of the long tunnel so I was able to continue to build, adding talent steadily. The AI possibilities continued to expand which helped as well. We finally started winning, and went 10-6, plus a playoff berth.
So we were a winning, playoff team before we got a single player off the gutted team.
ok, not going to argue over details. And if you had won the playoff game you'd have been up here last season. We went 10-6 in season 5 also and won the first two playoff games over teams that had beaten us in the regular season and then lost to the Champs (damn you Thunder!). And yes most likely you'll beat us in the regular season, but I would be will to bet it is the extra players you picked up and not the 10-6 core that got you to the top.
Again, nothing against what you've done... I hate recruiting and suck at it, I do not know builds and am playing more for fun than anything. So what we get is luck and the guess right now and then. I am just saying that you'd have a solid team, but with that group it put you into the upper end of teams, thats all.
Best to you in the season, I'm looking forward to the next season when, barring a shit load more team sells/CPUs things should be more at level for everyone.
