How is this for a 32-team expansion and realignment?
Post Body
| WESTERN CONFERENCE | EASTERN CONFERENCE |
|---|
| PACIFIC | CENTRAL-SOUTH | GREAT LAKES | ATLANTIC |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seattle Supersonics (expansion) | Denver Nuggets | Minnesota Timberwolves | Boston Celtics |
| Portland Trail Blazers | Utah Jazz | Milwaukee Bucks | New York Knicks |
| Sacramento Kings | Houston Rockets | Chicago Bulls | Philadelphia 76ers |
| Golden State Warriors | Dallas Mavericks | Detroit Pistons | Washington Wizards |
| Los Angeles Lakers | Kansas City Spurs (relocated from San Antonio) | Toronto Raptors | Charlotte Hornets |
| San Diego Clippers (relocated from Los Angeles) | St. Louis Thunder (relocated from Oklahoma City) | Cincinnati Nets (relocated from Brooklyn) | Atlanta Hawks |
| Vegas Sidewinders (expansion) | New Orleans Pelicans | Cleveland Cavaliers | Miami Heat |
| Phoenix Suns | Memphis Grizzlies | Pittsburgh Pacers (relocated from Indiana) | Orlando Magic |
To sum up the changes:
- Each city now has only one team/franchise.
- The Sonics return, as fans have been wanting - but as an expansion team.
- Vegas joins as an expansion team.
- The Spurs and Thunder are now in-state rivals in Missouri.
- The Wolves finally join the Eastern Conference, solving their logistical woes.
- The Nets and the Pacers become in-state rivals to the Cavs and the 76ers, respectively.
Comments
1.) Lol at the idea of San Antonio moving to KC.
2.) San Diego COULD work in theory, but, the Clippers would need a Steph Curry like Superstar for the city to even give a shit. There's a reason why no NBA team is there, currently.
3.) Indianapolis has a 25 year agreement to keep the Pacers there. You couldn't relocate them until the late 2040s at the earliest. And if they win a chip in that time frame forget about it.
4) Brooklyn going to Cinncinatti? LOL WHY? wtf.
