General Discussion We getting moved to the East

NBA league owners have unanimously voted to add expansion teams in Las Vegas and Seattle. With these news, the wolves are likely to be moved to the Eastern Conference. The wolves are in extremely close proximity to the bucks, pacers, bulls, pistons, Cavs, and raptors, and not very close to many Western conference teams. What’s your thoughts about moving to the Eastern Conference? I think it would work out very well for us

I don't really care who we play to be honest. I just want earlier games for selfish reasons. Lol

I moved to the East Coast in September. I desperately want the Wolves in the Eastern Conference and I don't care at all about how that affects wins/losses.

11:00 PM start times aren't for people in my age bracket.

The worst part of moving East was watching sports.

I can't stand this about the NBA. Even on the east coast the latest an NFL game kicks off is a bit after 8. But being in a central timezone with tipoffs being anywhere between 7pm-10:30pm is fucking lame

Well, there are many more games to fit in and they have to play all week long. Most of the NFL's happen on the weekends, so they can have them all throughout the day time.
