Anyways, i'm mostly testing out the coach grades. I think that putting the teams in Tier 1, tier 2, tier 3, and then having a coach grade for each tier might make a good roster.
Inbetween your edits, alby's edits, prax edits, vannwolfhawks edits.... the player ratings and tendencies are really set very good.
Now, how would i put the nba in tiers? not really sure. but we can try this

Toronto Raptors
Tier 3 Coach Grade: B- --- B+

Oklahoma City Thunder
Philadelphia 76ers
Denver Nuggets
Minnesota Timberwolves (in an alternate reality where everything isn't always ruined there)
Tier 3.5 Coach Grade: C+ ---- B
Los Angeles Lakers
Indiana Pacers
Washington Wizards
Miami Heat (with Jimmy Butler - team does not currently exist)
Tier 4 Coach Grade: C --- B-
San Antonio Spurs
New Orleans Pelicans
Portland Trail Blazers
Miami Heat (without Jimmy Butler)
Detroit Pistons
Charlotte Hornets
Brooklyn Nets
Tier 4.5 Coach Grade: C- --- C+
Dallas Mavericks
Memphis Grizzlies
LA Clippers
Minnesota* (without Jimmy Butler)
Tier 5 Coach Grade: D+ --- C
Cleveland Cavaliers
Phoenix Suns
Sacramento Kings
New York Knicks
Chicago Bulls
Orlando Magic
Atlanta Hawks
I haven't tried any of these tiers ..... this is all theoretical. just for discussion. More wondering a general baseline coach grade for each Tier. some outliers will exist ... like Jazz/76ers might have A Defense .... and thunder might have A- Offense. But the boosted teams (jazz defense / thunder offense) will not be far boosted from the tier guide.
Anywayas, if i have time, i test out the tier grades. Of course, it can be argued that some teams need to move up/down a tier. Or that the rockets, warriors, celtics all should be tier 1 ( A- to A+ coach grades) and that would change the tiers as well. this just for discussion about coach grades.

Or maybe the tiers need different grades .... anyways, i think i like the second list better. i might try that out.
