I guess if you just want to sell tickets, but that isn’t a healthy fan base. I’d hate to play for that team if I was a player :mjlol:
I mean, if the fanbase shows up and shows love, I think that’s all that matters…if that. These dudes care about collecting their check and building a brand, don’t think they’re studying demographic surveys to see how many black fans come to games.

Louisville doesn't deserve a team but teams in smaller metros like New Orleans, Salt Lake City, Memphis ... make sense?

Teams in Milwaukee, Sacramento, OKC make sense?

Yes.

During the NBA season, Louisville has two elite basketball tickets locally…4 if you consider they are a 90 minute drive from Cincinnati.
That’s not the case for those other cities.

It makes way more sense to put Toronto in the Northeast and put Philly and the Wizards in the same division however you do it. You could stick them with Milwaukee and Memphis. And you keep Detroit, Chicago, Indiana and Cleveland together

While true, I don't think the league and owners of those legacy franchises would want to be broken up. Philly, Boston, NYC. Philly would easily get the nod over Toronto for staying in a division with the 2 NYC teams and the Celtics.

I’d agree with you if we made divisions matter in the NBA. We should but we haven’t.

I honestly think doing 4 divisions with 8 teams making more sense that 8 divisions with 4 teams :manny:
