I wouldn't want a great team, but I wouldn't want an awful team either. An awful team would probably be too frustrating to bring back and a great team would just be kinda boring and winning the championship wouldn't mean as much.

When I took over the Thunder Bay Lightning of the CBL I think they were a team that was decent, but with a few wrong moves they definitely could have become a disaster. They finished 3rd (out of 4) in the year I took them over late in the season. My 1st full season with them they won the division and early this year, my 2nd season with them, they're in 1st again. However, I got them back on track with basically filling holes with (for the most part) reasonably priced vets who if a lot falter could really kill my team. But if enough stay good and I can restock my system with good young players in the meantime, I think we can be contenders for many years to come. The point of all this is, taking over a team that could have gone one way or the other depending on my moves and then making them a perrenial contender has been very satisfying. I highly doubt that picking a great or awful team would have been as much fun.
