DG_ThenNowForever Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 A new NBA team in Seattle will 100 percent be the Seattle SuperSonics; they city owns the name, trophies and banners. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScubaSteve Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 If they're adding both Seattle and Vegas, looks like they'll have to switch one team over to the east. Only makes sense for either Memphis or New Orleans to hop over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memphis and NOLA at least have southwest partners around them, Minnesota's nearest team is Milwaukee, who's in a whole 'nother conference. the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Orleans, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio, you know, the ones in the Southwest Division. We can throw in OKC as well as another team near them. the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCalderwood Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 If MEM is the eastern-most Western Conference team, then I think they should be the one to move East. I think it would bug me if we had an Eastern Conference team that was situated further west than a Western Conference team. It's also bothered me that TOR has been in the Atlantic Division, even though they are not really that close to the Atlantic. Maybe this?: Eastern Conference Atlantic Division BOS NY BKN PHI WSH Southeast Division MEM ATL CHA ORL MIA Central Division TOR DET MIL CHI IND CLE Western Conference Pacific Division PHX LAC LAL SAC GS Northwest Division SEA POR LV DEN UTA MIN Southwest Division SA DAL HOU OKC NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schlim Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 I'm happy for Seattle to get its own team again, and I'm even happier this takes two cities out of the mix that ARod can potentially move his new toy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that i'm that into the NBA but it's always bugged me that you have two teams so close yet so far away in playing against each other. Logano wins BOWL before Chargers.

AnPheitseog Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 With the way the NBA is, I wouldnt be opposed to them taking a soccer style. Single table, 2 games against each other for a 58-62 game season and then take top 16. Formerly known as DiePerske Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sky1324 Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 I've always felt the NBA could do conference-less - perhaps 5 divisions of 6 teams, then go with the top 16. If they ever wanted to go beyond 30, 36 would be nice because then you get 6 divisions of 6, but there is definitely not enough talent to go around for a 30-team league, let alone a 36-team one. the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't go with top 16 if you have divisions, unless you're saying that the 16 would be comprised of the top x in each division. As soon as the schedule becomes unbalanced, so should the "top x of the whole league" idea. I realize that currently, conference schedules aren't balanced due to division play, but it's at least close enough.
