So I've been a fan of Football Manager for years and I've always wondered why nobody made a similar game for basketball. Well someone took the first step. Check out http://basketball-gm.com/
It's a really nice (and free) browser-based basketball simulation game. You become the GM of a team. You draft players, make trades, sign free agents, and adjust the roster to try to build a dynasty. But if you lose too many games or spend too much money, you might get fired. You' can't play the games themselves, but you can watch the play-by-play. I've played for about a week and it's very easy to get into and very addictive.
NBA licenses are expensive so the vanilla version of the game uses some weird team names like Boston Massacre and Atlanta Gold Club. The players are also randomly generated. But fear not, for custom-made NBA rosters are already available. With these you can play with the actual teams and actual players.

Hardwood Paroxysm recently wrote an article about it: http://hardwoodparoxysm.com/2014/07/09/complex-system-look-basketball-gm-guy-made/
The nice thing is, the creator made it as a hobby so everything's free. I'm not associated with the game in any way, I just thought I'd help spread the word because this game has so much potential.
