Currently your NBA SIM only allows leagues with 24 teams. It’s incredibly hard to start a league and get 24 owners. You need to allow smaller leagues.

8 team leagues will be 2 divisions of 4 teams each. Teams will play the 3 teams in their division 14 times each (42 games) and they will play the 4 teams in the other division 10 times each (40 games) for an 82 game schedule. The 2 division winners and the 2 next best records make the playoffs,

12 team leagues will play the 3 teams in their division 14 times (42 games), and will play the other 8 teams 5 times each (40 games) for an 82 game schedule. The 3 division winners and the next 3 best records make the playoffs with the top 2 seeds getting a bye for the first round.

16 team leagues will be 4 divisions of 4 teams each, 2 in each conference, Teams will play the 3 teams in their own division 14 times (42 games).
