You are sick and twisted. And that is all I'm going to say about that.

jlog, Not to critique your idea in minute detail, but wouldn't Minnesota be a better fit than Memphis in the East. The alignment would look better if it looked like this: Central Division Chicago Indiana Milwaukee Minnesota Midwest Division Dallas Denver Oklahoma City Phoenix Southwest Division Houston Memphis New Orleans San Antonio

NBA Realignment(If they only cared about the fans!): EASTERN CONFERENCE Northeast Division Boston Celtics Brooklyn Nets Montréal Avalons New York Knicks Philadelphia 76ers Toronto Raptors Atlantic Division Atlanta Hawks Charlotte Hornets Miami Heat Orlando Magic Puerto Rico Coquis Washington Wizards Central Division Chicago Bulls Cleveland Cavaliers Detroit Pistons Indiana Pacers Minnesota Timberwolves St. Louis Griffins WESTERN CONFERENCE Southwest Division Dallas Mavericks Houston Rockets Memphis Grizzlies New Orleans Pelicans Oklahoma City Thunder San Antonio Spurs Northwest Division Colorado Nuggets Kansas City Flash Portland Trail Blazers Seattle Supersonics Utah Jazz Vancouver Ravens Pacific Division Arizona Suns Los Angeles Clippers Los Angeles Lakers Sacramento Kings San Francisco Warriors San Jose Lasers

Name: ZZZZ- Actual Logo Set: ZZZZZZZZ- I think that Brandiose should just change it's name to Brandlose. That'll instantly dry up business.

Nice series thus far. Any thought if doing some Minnesota-themed jumpers?

AnythingChicago, Did the NHL not realign itself this past off season? And you would move a team that's moderately successful in Columbus, to a city that was once abandoned by the league(although it is building a new coliseé that would place it mid-pack in the league)? If Québèc is to gain a new team, instead of the Blue Jackets, why not the Panthers? (Sorry Hamilton.)

Thou have altered perfection. Thou shall pay the most irrevocable price thou will pay, DEATH!*J/k

Screw geography, let's do the NFL again. AFC North Cincinnati Kansas City Miami Tennessee AFC South Denver Indianapolis New England Pittsburgh AFC East Baltimore Houston New York Jets Oakland AFC West Buffalo Cleveland Jacksonville San Diego NFC South Arizona Carolina Dallas Tampa Bay NFC East Atlanta New York Giants St.Louis Washington NFC West New Orleans Philadelphia San Francisco Seattle NFC North Chicago Detroit Green Bay Minnesota (C'mon, you'd expect me to mess with the Norris division? Never.)

There are 32 smaller regional-pro and amateur leagues, but I won't go over those levels as I did here.

You probably didn't realize that Pigball is not a real sport

Speaking of pointless, here's an alignment on a pointless sport, Pigball: American Pigball Premiership(The first division) Allentown United PC Birmingham Boston Rovers PC Boston Union Brooklyn City Chicago West End PC Denver Georgetown United(DC) Green Bay Legends PC Hawai'i Alliance Hollywood Town PC PC Kansas City Memphis PC Villa Miami New York Scotch Philadelphia 1776 St. Paul City San Jose City PC Washington City PC Winnipeg PC American Pigball Championship(The 2nd division) PC Albuquerque Atlanta Fire PC Chicago South PC PC Cleveland Dallas City Detroit PC Hamilton Hammers Hartford PC Houston La Raza Indianapolis 16 Los Angeles City Louisville PC Milwaukee Bavarian PC Club d'Etoile du Minneapolis Castors du Montréal Nashville Gulch PC New Orleans PC Oklahoma City 1937 Phoenix City Queens PC San Jose United Seattle Sonics PC Tampa City Toronto Lakeside Pigball League 1(The 3rd division) Arch PC(St. Louis) Baltimore Pompei PC Buffalo Falls PC Camden County PC Cincinnati United Colorado Springs City Durham United PC PC Edmonton Fall River City Illinois Center PC(Plays in Peoria) Johnstown PC Kalamazoo Union Las Vegas PC Madison PC Montana Frontier PC Omaha City Orlando PC Pittsburgh Steel Rose City United(Portland) San Antonio PC San Francisco Seven Hills Vancouver United Vermont 1791 Wichita United Pigball League Two(The 4th division) Anaheim Sun PC Calgary United Capitol Region PC(Plays in Albany) Charlestown Freedom PC(Boston) Charlotte United PC Dayton 1903 Detroit Motor City Fargo City Fort Myers Town PC Fort Worth United Greensboro Bees Idaho PC Jacksonville Town Lansing United Newark City Norfolk City Oakland Docks Old Towne(Philadelphia) Palmetto Legion(Columbia, SC) San Diego City Syracuse Scorpions PC Tucson City Utah 1896 Worcester City Those are your first 4 levels of American Pigball(yes, I'm doing Promotion and Relegation, just don't remind me of how bad it is). If your city and/or region isn't listed in this post, don't worry, I've got 4 more levels to go. EDIT: I had 21 teams in the Premiership(Sorry, Tulsa).

You mean like this: GREATER UNITED STATES OF AMERICA: Benjamin Franklin Conference Pierre Trudeau Division Québèc(expansion state) Michigan New Mexico Virgin Islands(expansion state) Rhode Island South Dakota Hawai'i Mississippi Andrew Jackson Division Tennessee Alaska Wisconsin Saskatchewan(expansion state) Colorado Nova Scotia(expansion state) Delaware Oklahoma George Washington Conference Theodore Roosevelt Division New Jersey Minnesota Idaho Arkansas Prince Edward Island(expansion state) Oregon South Carolina Vermont Franklin Delano Roosevelt Division New York Kansas Bahamas(expansion state) British Columbia(expansion state) Utah Maine Indiana Louisiana Abraham Lincoln Conference Thomas Jefferson Division Pennsylvania Washington State Florida Manitoba(expansion state) Arizona North Dakota New Hampshire West Virginia John Adams Division Massachusetts Virginia Newfoundland(expansion state) Puerto Rico(expansion state Illinois Wyoming Nebraska Nevada John F.

If the NBA were to foolishly dump ESPN for Fox, there could be a dramatic realignment. ESPN Super League(All NBA defectors but one): Eastern Conference: Boston Celtics Chicago Bulls Miami Heat New York Knicks Washington Wizards Western Conference: Dallas Mavericks Houston Rockets Los Angeles Lakers Phoenix Suns Seattle Supersonics(expansion) Super League playoffs(based on the McIntire system of giving top teams double chances of playing for the title): Division Champions play in 2nd semifinal series(Winner to the Super Final) Next 2 teams play in 1st semifinal series Winner of 1st semifinal plays loser of 2nd semifinal in Preliminary final series Winner of Preliminary Final series goes to the Super Final Series to face 2nd semifinal series All series are best of 7. NBA Atlantic Division: Atlanta Hawks Charlotte Hornets New York Nets(renamed from Brooklyn) Orlando Magic Philadelphia 76ers Toronto Raptors Central Division Chicago Zephyrs(expansion) Cleveland Cavaliers Detroit Pistons Indiana Pacers Milwaukee Bucks Minnesota Timberwolves Midwest Division Denver Nuggets Kansas City Griffins(expansion) Memphis Grizzlies New Orleans Pelicans Oklahoma City Thunder San Antonio Spurs Pacific Division Anaheim Clippers Portland Trail Blazers Sacramento Kings San Francisco Warriors Utah Jazz Vancouver Titans(expansion) NBA playoffs(returns to format used from 1984-2004).

Trying to get this back on track, here's some of my ideas for a realigned NBA. Idea 1(Imagine there's no conferences): Atlantic: Boston, Brooklyn, New York, Philadelphia, Toronto, Washington Central: Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Indiana, Milwaukee, Minnesota Midwest: Dallas, Denver, Houston, Oklahoma City, San Antonio, Utah Pacific: Golden State, LA Clippers, LA Lakers, Phoenix, Portland, Sacramento Southern: Atlanta, Charlotte, Memphis, Miami, New Orleans, Orlando Scheduling: 6 games against divisional foes 2 games vs everyone else(plus 1 additional game vs. teams who finish in the same position as you) Playoffs: 16 teams(1-5 go to divisional champions) 1st Round: 2-game, total points Quarterfinals: best-of-3 Semifinals: best-of-5 NBA Finals: best-of-7 Idea 2(NFL style-conferences) American East: Brooklyn, Charlotte, Orlando, Philadelphia, Toronto American Central: Detroit, Indiana, Memphis, Milwaukee, Oklahoma City American West: Golden State, LA Clippers, Portland, San Antonio, Utah National East: Atlanta, Boston, Miami, New York, Washington National Central: Chicago, Cleveland, Denver, Minnesota, New Orleans National West: Dallas, Houston, LA Lakers, Phoenix, Sacramento Scheduling & Playoffs: same as now.
