I think the NBA should expand to 32 teams. Go back to 2 conferences with a total of 4 divisions. Add a team in Seattle and Las Vegas and shift Memphis into the Eastern Conference.

Pacific:
SEA
PDX
SAC
GSW
LAL
LAC
PHX
LSV

Midwest:
UTA
DEN
SAS
DAL
HOU
OKC
NOP
MIN

Central:
MEM
CHI
MIL
CLE
IN
DETROIT
TOR
AT

Atlantic:
NYK
BKN
BOS
WAS
PHI
CHA
ORL
MIA

I don't mind this proposal at all. Memphis, or NO, should be in the East for sure.

I would consider swapping Toronto and Charlotte in the redesigned East. Not a necessity, but just something to consider.

Reduce the number of division winners from 6 to 4 each year? Won't happen.

I would imagine MIN would love to be in the east, and are quite close to nearby Milwaukee and Chicago - natural rivals from the NFL. I believe I read something that no team travels farther each year than MIN.

Not sure watering the league down now would be a good idea, but wouldn't be surprised to see something like this in a few more years.
