    Hard to expand to 32 teams from 30 by moving one of the teams…

    I hope the media focuses on the consent issue more than Dwight being bisexual and a bit freaky-deaky

    Actually about 4 teams need to move and Memphis is just stupid being in the western conference. Along with OCK and the Pelican’s. Guess Texas can stay but I don’t have to like it.
    As far as I’m concerned break the NBA into quarters and scrap East West altogether.

    In order for there to be 16 teams in both conferences only 1 team needs to move. A team from the western conference would get moved putting the eastern conference at 16 teams. Then add a Seattle and Vegas team to the west. 16 on each side.

    Are you saying the NBA needs to add four teams in expansion instead of two, in order to move some other teams like the Grizzlies or Pelicans to the east? I agree it's weird that those two teams (and some would argue even the Timberwolves) are in the western conference when they are so far east. (New Orleans is further east than Memphis). .

    A big issue with doing that many expansion teams at once is that it will tax the rosters of other teams. Teams are already going to have to give up players. Four teams will take alot of players off rosters in an expansion draft.

    Too, not sure it makes sense to have all four expansion teams be in the west. That could balance things out a bit more, but probably too much.

    I’m saying what I said. Split into 4 divisions and even up the travel. 32 teams is 8 per division.
    This is simple.

    I mean he's on a stacked team if he wasn't engaged there'd be something extremely wrong. It's what worries me about Ayton so much that he couldn't be engaged on such a stacked team.

    no need for qualifiers. i'm simply complimenting nurk. the level of vitriol he got in the forum was at times pathetic.

    He has an efficient double-double IN THE FIRST HALF. He's also leading the team in +/-.

    I do think we need to go back to 4 divisions again; with 8 per division, the top 4 from each division should be seeded in the playoffs, to keep things interesting. No play-in tournament, that’s kindergarten shit.
