[dez]

Draymond is dope tho, fan since the first time i saw him play
Happy hes gonna get super paid

I want him ona squad soooooo bad

Really starting to see the Pelicans go to AD late in games, finally.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

and we can sit here and argue who will make the playoffs all day, but I'd say one of Russell Westbrook or Anthony Davis will be at home watching while a team like Charlotte, Milwaukee, Miami, etc will get in. NBA fans lose in that scenario.

 

[BwareDWare94]

^Truth.

They need to re-align. That's the only real solutions unless you get rid of conferences entirely

Giannis stuffing that stat sheet!

I could see something like only the first four in each conference are guaranteed a playoff spot. The remaining eight spots goes to the best eight remaining teams in the league. But I would so settle for a realignment that puts the Pels in the East as well.

I don't like that idea because I feel like it punishes the top teams in the lesser conference. But I feel like that's what's going to happen except maybe with the top 6 instead of 4

Might not be the best, but here's what I came up with for a re-alignment

AMERICAN CONFERENCE:

East:
Atlanta
Boston
New York
Orlando
Washington

Central:
Cleveland
Chicago
Indiana
Memphis
Milwaukee

West:
Denver
Los Angeles Clippers
Oklahoma City
San Antonio
Utah

NATIONAL CONFERENCE:

East:
Brooklyn
Charlotte
Miami
Philly
Toronto

Central:
Dallas
Detroit
Houston
Minnesota
New Orleans

West:
Golden State
Los Angeles Lakers
Phoenix
Portland
Sacramento

Conferences should only be used to prevent east coast and west coast teams from having to travel cross country an absurd amount of times. Keep the label just so travel remains similar, change in conferences meetings from 4 to 3 and just take the 15 games right off the schedule, and the top 16 get in the playoffs. Wouldn't even be opposed to dropping that 16 team playoff to 12

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I agree they should cut the season but they won't. Too much money on the table

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Also I know the West has been better for a while now but there's no saying moving Memphis or NOLA to the East solves anything. Those teams could both easily suck in a couple of years and make the East even worse.
 
It's a cycle

3 ideas, all shitty:

Atlantic Southeast Central Northwest Southwest Pacific
Boston ATL Detroit Minnesota Dallas LAC
Philly Charlotte Toronto Denver San Antonio LAL
NY Orlando Indiana Utah Houston Sacramento
Brooklyn Miami Cleveland Milwaukee OKC GSW
Washington Nola Memphis Chicago PHX Portland


2 division format:

Northeast	Southeast		Northwest		Southwest
Boston		ATL			Chicago			Dallas
Philly		Charlotte		Denver			Houston
NY		Orlando			Golden State		LA Clippers
Brooklyn	Miami			Milwaukee		LA Lakers
Detroit		Nola			Minnesota		OKC
Toronto		Memphis			Portland		Phoenix
Indiana		Washington		Sacramento		San Antonio
Cleveland				Utah

Atlantic	Central			Pacific		Midwest
Boston		Nola			Utah		Dallas
Philly		Memphis			Phoenix		Houston
NY		Detroit			Golden State	OKC
Brooklyn	Toronto			LA Clippers	San Antonio
Washington	Indiana			LA Lakers	Chicago
Charlotte	Cleveland		Portland	Denver
Orlando		ATL			Sacramento	Milwaukee
Miami							Minnesota
