    Shouldn't the nba structure the confrenses like the nfl, where it does not matter what part of the country a team is from. For example change western conference to national conference and eastern in american conference and change what conference the teams are in. this would be good because one conference would not be dominant and this would make the nba finals more exciting.

    national conference
    1)lakers
    2)mavs
    3)sixers
    4)pacers
    5)heat
    6)jazz
    7)celtics
    8)nuggets
    9)knicks
    10)new charllote team
    11)blazers
    12)magic
    13)grizzles
    14)raptors
    15)suns

    american conference
    1)kings
    2)spurs
    3)nets
    4)pistons
    5)hornets
    6)sonics
    7)clippers
    8)warriors
    9)rockets
    10)Twolves
    11)cavs
    12)bulls
    13)hawks
    14)wizards
    15)bucks

    It would make travel expenditures skyhigh. The NFL can afford to do this because there are only 16 games to a regular season. If the NBA did this, teams would have to travel across country more often, and it would just be too expensive.

    They would be more evenly matched and the season and playoffs would be more exciting. But the NBA would demolish eventually just because of the cost of travel alone. Plus the players would miss thier families and home even more and might not play to their full capacity. I think it's a bad idea.

    I like the NBA's current way. I'd like to see another Canadian team though, just to get ball more hype up here

    i'd also like to see another Canadian team but the only other viable market other than TO is Vancouver and well we know what happened there, so i dont think Canada is gonna be getting another team anytime soon...maybe Van city should try and get a NBDL team? lol

    They should have 2 Canadian teams but they tried and it didnt work-Why would they try again? But they do need a Canadian playoff team-just so there's some hype up there. Vince is good but hes injured to much and he cant take them to the playoffs like that.
