    Default Division shake up?

    Just a simple question. Given the change adopted this season for how teams qualify for the playoffs, is it time to make some changes to the divisions to make a little more sense geographically? While this isn't absolutely perfect, is it perhaps a little better that the current structure? (Also, forgive me if this has already been brought up. I don't check in all that often)

    Northwest:

    Portland
    Utah
    Minnesota
    Milwaukee
    Sacramento

    Pacific:

    Golden State
    Lakers
    Clippers
    Phoenix
    Spurs

    Southwest:

    Denver
    OKC
    Dallas
    Houston
    Memphis

    Atlantic:

    Boston
    New York
    Brooklyn
    Philadelphia
    Washington

    Central:

    Cleveland
    Indiana
    Detroit
    Toronto
    Chicago

    Southeast:

    Atlanta
    New Orleans
    Miami
    Orlando
    Charlotte

    Current (from reddit):





    IMO they should a few moves to have some balance (travelling wise):
    Bucks move to Seattle (green.. ray allen connection)
    Grizzlies move to Las Vegas
    Timberwolves given to the East



    Then:
    WEST

    NorthWest: Portland, Seattle, Jazz, Kings and Nuggets

    Pacific: Lakers, Clippers, Warriors, Las Vegas and Suns

    SouthWest: Thunder, Spurs, Mavericks, Rockets and Pelicans

    EAST

    Central: Timberwolves, Bulls, Pacers, Pistons and Cavaliers

    Atlantic: Raptors, Knicks, Sixers, Nets and Knicks (no changes)

    SouthEast: Magic, Heat, Hawks, Bobcats and Wizards (no changes)

    Putting the Spurs in the same division as the Warriors and Clippers?

    Good point about competitive levels. I hadn't put too much thought to it, thinking that all teams have their eventual ups and downs.

    On second thought.. I don't think the NBA will move a team to Las Vegas anytime soon (given the whole Odom incident). Too many mentally weak players.

    first of all switch Portland and Suns.

    That is the only change that is possible to do.
    the rest is impossible.
