In Franchises mode in NBA 2K25, you can be the coach or manager of a team, and then use some strategies to lead them to their own glorious moments. But in this mode, besides some strong teams that players are familiar with, there are also teams that have been glorious but have not performed well in recent seasons and have not achieved much. They are called rebuilding teams.

In the general cognition of players, leading a strong team to victory is inevitable and very easy, while leading such a rebuilding team is challenging because they do not have draft picks and some outstanding players. But some players will think that it is very meaningful to bring these once very powerful teams back to their peak era, and they can get a great sense of honor from it.

If you are one of these players, then you can choose one of the most suitable rebuilding teams in NBA 2K25 that this guide introduces to you to cultivate. These teams usually have great potential, waiting for you to discover. It is worth mentioning here that with the upgrade of MyNBA in NBA 2K25, you can take over teams of any era in the entire league. This simplified mode allows you to experience the management process more immersively.

San Antonio Spurs

Generational talent is a term often used to describe new players entering the league, and with San Antonio Spurs, Victor Wembanyama is one such player. His outstanding performance impressed most teams in the league, but his team, San Antonio Spurs, finished 22-60 last season.

In the current offseason, San Antonio had to strengthen its roster by selecting Hall of Fame point guard Chris Paul, and selecting the outstanding player Stephon Castle from UConn with the fourth pick in the draft, as well as some outstanding rookies.

Although the strength of San Antonio Spurs has been strengthened to a certain extent, it is not too outstanding in the Western Conference, which is full of talents, but it is not completely impossible.

If you take over this team, you can build a specific starting lineup around the newly emerging superstar Wembanyama, because he has extraordinary potential and has a solid team cohesive role. Add in five-time NBA Champion coach Gregg Popovich, and this team is a great team to win 2K25 MT or even return to the top.

Houston Rockets

Led by an ambitious head coach Ime Udoka, Houston Rockets have a very strong roster that you don’t need to modify or invest in, as they made it to NBA Finals in Ime Udoka’s first year.

In addition, veteran point guard Fred Van Fleet only has one year left on his huge contract, and once it expires, Houston Rockets will have a much larger budget. This will give you more power to keep some young talents, such as Jalen Green and Alperen Şengün, who will make the entire team more competitive and stronger.

In the previous draft, Houston Rockets selected a relatively outstanding guard Reed Sheppard with the third pick. However, since the draft picks of the rebuilding team have not yet been fully realized, it is uncertain whether the guard will appear on the roster.

Charlotte Hornets

Charlotte Hornets haven’t made NBA playoffs in eight years and have experienced a lot of turmoil in players and coaches. After NBA legend Michael Jordan sold his majority stake in Charlotte Hornets in 2023, the team had a brief period of calm and sorted out management ideas.

Now, under the leadership of new management and talented young coach Charles Lee, Charlotte Hornets are gradually getting back on track. Although injuries to players on the team made them miss many opportunities to win awards last season, after the return of healthy LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller, this strong team can easily score on the court.

If you take over Charlotte Hornets and introduce two legendary players such as Mark Williams and Miles Bridges, this team will have a very big improvement, and you will also get a great sense of honor and a lot of 2K25 MT Coins from it.

Los Angeles Lakers

I believe many players will be very confused why Los Angeles Lakers are on this list of rebuilding teams? Although Los Angeles Lakers has won many honors in the previous NBA league and cultivated many legendary stars, it has to be admitted that LeBron James has entered his 40s and Anthony Davis will also have injury problems.

Other teams in Western Conference are constantly improving, and Los Angeles Lakers are now entering a bottleneck period. In addition, the team will not have a first-round draft pick until 2026, so when the above two legendary superstars retire, there will be no fresh blood in Los Angeles Lakers to make up for it, which will make the entire team face the challenge of how to plan for the future.

But if you take over Los Angeles Lakers, who don’t look like a rebuilding team, you don’t need to worry about strength issues right now because two stars can still perform for you. But you need to spend more 2K25 MT Points to strengthen in the subsequent seasons. You can think about the gains and losses.

The above are some of the rebuilding teams you can choose from NBA 2K25. I hope you can use some strategies and methods in Franchises mode to get them back to their peak as soon as possible, and I wish you a great sense of honor in this rebuilding team!
