    I think the Wolves should go to the East. It would help even out the conferences a little more than sending Memphis over.

    ya.

    i looked on a map and i think Memphis is more east than NO and NO more east than Minne. but w/ minny in the east, KG will be all-star :twisted: , KG will be on east, :twisted: and the east will beat the west :twisted:
    oh yeah and we'd (the east) look beter on paper.

    i forgot about the new charlotte franchise.

    with their addition, that would make 16 teams in the east and 14 in the west. Perhaps just moving new orleans over would be best. to even out the conferences.

    David Stern wants to re-do the entire landscape of the NBA. He wants to have 2 conferences and 8 divisions with 4 or 5 teams in each, similar to the NFL.

    Eastern Conference
    Western Conference

    EAST-WEST-SOUTH-NORTH would be the divisions

    that would really suck. i think there should only b 2 teams in a conference. i remembered the nhl last season, carolina was 3rd bcuz of a weak division but they really shouldve gotten 7th.

    Since I'm a loser, I made up my own divisions.

    --EAST--
    -Northwest-
    New York
    New Jersey
    Boston
    Philly
    Toronto

    -Midwest-
    Detroit
    Indiana
    Cleveland
    Chicago
    Milwaukee

    -Southeast-
    Miami
    Orlando
    Atlanta
    Charlotte
    Washington (the only real geography screwup)

    --WEST--
    -Central-
    Minnesota
    New Orleans
    Memphis
    Utah (doesn't make as much sense, but they need to go here)
    Denver (same with them)

    -Southwest-
    Dallas
    San Antonio
    Houston
    Phoenix
    Golden State

    -Pacific-
    LA Lakers
    LA Clippers
    Sacramento
    Seattle
    Portland

    That's the best I could do with geography, without breaking up some rivals.

    Toronto is in the northeast (right next to NYC) and Washington is the most southern city left in the NE. Plus, they don't have any great rivalries that warrant keeping them there, especially with MJ retiring. Toronto hasn't made any good rivalries either, so it didn't hurt moving them. I just know they're definitely not southeast.

    while toronto remains in a div with milwaukee etc.

    Because they used to be Vancouver and Vancouver is in the West. I'm sure once realignment takes place it will be adjusted to have Memphis in the East.

    I think they should just keep the 4 divisions. Just send New Orleans to the west.
