The Pacific Division

With the kings going to Seattle, will the suns get kicked out of the pacific division, it makes sense for Seattle to stay in the pacific but with Portland only an hour away maybe they decide that the northwest division is a mess and remake the divisions?

Might as well every other piece of suns tradition is gone. Might as well finish it off.

I sincerely hope not, even though divisions don't mean much in the NBA nowadays with the way playoffs and seedings work out.

Switch PHX with MEM and I agree Frank

Yeah... I guess Phx is closer to SLC and Denver... that does make better sense.

Phx
Denver
Utah
OKC
Minn

SanAnt
NO

Better geographic alignment.

Yours might give us a better shot at winning a division in the next 5 years though

I like this set up. It makes sense to have Phoenix labeled in the Southwest Division. Calling the team in the Northwest doesn't have a geographical ring to it, even if it is closer to Utah.
