    I know there's a huge contingent of Astros fans that want them back in a Central Division (NL or AL), but what about the fans clamoring for the Rockets to RETURN to the Eastern Conference. We were in that conference from 1972 to 1980... and return there would be amazing. Maybe send Milwaukee to the West?

    Orlando Magic was the last team to go from the Western Conference to the Eastern Conference in 1991.

    No point in having conferences in 2018.

    What I really want is for them to go away entirely.

    Your only hope is expansion buddy. Seattle and vegas come in and then a team needs to move east.

    Even then, the odds of the texas teams be separated are next to nothing. It should be us, mavs, spurs, pels, and thunder.

    Should just relegate the Eastern Conference to the G-league.
