I think the two teams added would be Vegas and Seattle with either the Grizzlies or Timberwolves coming over to the Eastern Conference.
Timberwolves make more sense I think. A lot less travel for them playing Milwaukee, Chicago, etc. more times than teams like LA. Memphis obviously has a lot of travel as well, but you can at least put them with OKC and the Texas teams to ease the burden. The Wolves really are all alone in the West.
I think it's amazing how spread out some of the other divisions are when you actually look at a map. Man TWolves definitely get a raw deal being set up in the West. That whole Northwest division really, spread across 3 time zones. Of course adding Seattle will at least give Portland somebody somewhat close by. But there's really no way to balance the conferences/divisions evenly.
Yep. I think going to 4 team divisions when adding 2 teams would help a great deal with that.
A - Boston, NY, BKN, PHI
B - Toronto, Cleveland, Detroit, Washington
C - Charlotte, Atlanta, Orlando, Miami
D - Minnesota, Milwaukee, Indiana, Chicago
E - Dallas, New Orleans, San Antonio, Houston
F - Memphis, OKC, Denver, Utah
G - LAL, LAC, Phoenix, Vegas
H - Sacramento, Golden State, Portland, Seattle
You could move a team here or there, but I think those divisions all make a good deal of sense. A team in St. Louis or Louisville instead of Vegas would also help even more by giving Memphis a much closer geographical rival.
