I can confirm that you can indeed run this model by only using your own team and not bothering with the others information. The only information that's dependant on other teams is the budget information to get an average budget number, but provided you have one once -- or just multiply the league average budget times 25 or 40 -- you can do that to make it work, too and with that number, you can use the spreadsheet just for your own team, inputting their values from season to season (after the regular season ends is when all of the changeover happens) and let the rest of the league run as normal.

It almost acts as a house rule, especially if you're in a smaller, less dynamic market and want realistic results.
