Realignment Coming? 

Post#1 » by KingLakers » Wed Jan 9, 2013 10:38 pm

Although its not totally official it looks like the Kings are moving to Seattle so im wondering will cause a divisional realignment to happen the first one in 8 years. It could be as simple moving the Blazers to the Pacific and the New Sonics to the Northwest. Or it could cause a larger changes across the league. I believe this is the most exact potential geographical alignment of the league.
PAC- LAL, LAC, GSW, POR, PHX
NW- SEA, UTH, DEN, MINN, MIL
SW- SA, DAL, HOU, OKC, NO
ATL- NYK, BRK, PHI, DC, BOS
CEN- IND, CLE, DET, TOR, CHI
SE- MIA, ORL, ATL, MEM, CHA
You guys think such a major change will happen this summer?

I don't think they'll realign, really no reason to. Plus I don't think they're gonna do Milwaukee in the west again, they moved them out of the WC in the late 70's

Seattle is still next to the Pacific Ocean. They will be in the Pacific devision.
Lakers are 22-3 in OT last 6 seasons:Kobe best OT closer!
