If I was the commissioner of the NBA, I would, of course bring back the Seattle SuperSonics. In order to make both the Eastern and Western Conferences even, I would also bring back the Kentucky Colonels from the old ABA. I can't really find a good division for the Grizzlies to be in their current city so I would move them back to Vancouver. The conference divisions would be similar to the NHL where there is 2 divisions with 8 teams, 16 teams in each conference. The divisions would look like this:
ATLANTIC DIVISION
-New York Knicks
-Brooklyn Nets
-Boston Celtics
-Philadelphia 76ers
-Toronto Raptors
-Washington Wizards
-Miami Heat
-Orlando Magic
CENTRAL DIVISION
-Cleveland Cavaliers
-Chicago Bulls
-Detroit Pistons
-Indiana Pacers
-Milwaukee Bucks
-Atlanta Hawks
-Charlotte Hornets
-Kentucky Colonels
MIDWEST DIVISION
-Minnesota Timberwolves
-Denver Nuggets
-Utah Jazz
-New Orleans Pelicans
-Oklahoma City Thunder
-Houston Rockets
-Dallas Mavericks
-San Antonio Spurs
PACIFIC DIVISION
-Los Angeles Lakers
-Los Angeles Clippers
-Golden State Warriors
-Sacramento Kings
-Phoenix Suns
-Portland Trail-Blazers
-Vancouver Grizzles
-Seattle Supersonics
I understand this is not the best division alignment, but I would love to hear any of your suggestions to improve it as well as opinions!
