The NBA really does need to take a serious look at conference realignment.


It wouldn't surprise me for this to get talked about.

Guys like cuban are realizing it.

It's simply not fair or economically efficient. The teams in the East are floundering and attendance is down league wide. It makes a ton more sense to have 16 competitive teams spread equally throughout the country. Nobody goes to Hawks games and they're like 17-7 because they play garbage night in and night out. Maybe blow up the conferences all together, cut it to 70ish games and have 2-4 extra teams in the playoffs? Idk but something has to change.

The entire perception of the Pelicans' franchise would be different right now if they were in the East competing for a 4,5 seed as opposed to fighting for an 8 seed in the west.
As a of now every 20-something nba blogger thinks they're smarter than what they believe are the knuckle-dragging morons in our organization.

Im looking at the top 7 teams in the west + OKC, right now, and there's NOT ONE eastern conference team I'd pick in a 7 game series vs any top 8 seed in the west.

The West won't be dominant forever, realigning the league just because there has been a talent discrepancy in conferences for the last 5 or so years would be terribly shortsighted.

Only way realignment happens is if a team from the east moves to Seattle/Vegas or the NBA expands to those markets, forcing New Orleans or Memphis to move back to the East to balance things out.
