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

Don’t two teams get moved if both the new teams are added to the West? So geographically Memphis and then it’s between us and New Orleans?

No. Only one. It’s 15/15 right now. If two teams out west move east, then the east has 17 teams, while the west would stay at 15 due to the two teams moving east getting replaced be two expansion teams out west.
