It's time for an NBA divisional realignment

[BlackFeet]

Not a fan of how the divisions are currently set up. Believe a realignment would be better for the league. Here's what I'd like to see:

Pacific Division
Portland Trailblazers
Los Angeles Clippers
Sacramento Kings
Los Angeles Lakers
Golden State Warriors

Midwest Division
Minnesota Timberwolves
Denver Nuggets
Memphis Grizzlies
Utah Jazz
Milwaukee Bucks

Southwest Division
Phoenix Suns
Houston Rockets
San Antonio Spurs
Oklahoma City Thunder
Dallas Mavericks

Central Division
Indiana Pacers
Toronto Raptors
Cleveland Cavaliers
Chicago Bulls
Detroit Pistons

Southeast Division
Atlanta Hawks
Orlando Magic
Charlotte Hornets
Miami Heat
New Orleans Pelicans

Atlantic Division
New York Knicks
Boston Celtics
Philadelphia 76ers
Brooklyn Nets
Washington Wizards



What do y'all think? I realize this may not be perfect, but it'd be better than how it's setup now, @ least.

Milwaukee in the west

EPIC FAIL

Well, it would be good to see the Brooklyn Nets in there considering that the New Jersey Nets don't exist anymore. Might as well throw the Vancouver Grizzlies and New Orleans Hornets in there while you are at it.

Milwaukee in the west

that midwest division

Dallas is in the NFC East in the NFL, I mean, it's not that much of a stretch.

My bad, I fixed it. Obviously somethin' I've had on my mind before this season

I've never understood that......

I've never understood that......

Neitha do I, but it's gone on to work, and will never be broken. Stranger things have happened (Atlanta Falcons bein' in the NFC West before the Texans came )

 

[who_better_than_me]

I've never understood that......

they kept em there for tradition. Didnt want to lose those classic rivalries.

 

[intruder]

All I know is Memphis and Minnesota need to be in the EAST. No sense in the Conference teams not matching their geographical locations.

Milwaukee used to play in the Western Conference. That's a lot more realistic than the Cowboys in the NFC East.

 

[Adebisi_Said]

I've never understood that......

Moving the Cowboys to the NFC South would end their rivalries with the Giants, Eagles, and Skins is the likely reason.

Minnesota is in the Midwest, it'd be alright. Memphis, I do agree, is the outlier here, however, I believe w/ how everything else is damn near a perfect fit, it'd be okay. Again, Tampa Bay was in the NFC West @ one point, so this would be o-kay. Then again, I honestly wouldn't have a problem w/ movin' Memphis to the Southeast; keepin' all the Dirty South together
