The Western Conference teams have a massive advantage in this game.

I look at this draft as more of who can make the best West team and who can make the best East team, as I think it’ll be hard for an East team to beat a West team in the Finals, if that makes sense.

The fact that Kareem fell so far is just absolutely ridiculous. This Magic/Kareem nightmare could have been stopped guys.

The Bucks moved to the Western Conference after Kareem's rookie season. But even if he was available to Eastern Conference drafters without the .85 multiplier that would have been somewhat difficult.

I didn't know that either until flaco started mentioning that some teams switched conferences. So, to make sure I went back and checked some of the older teams.
