    Les wants us to move to the East? Hell no! That means no one will take us seriously when we get 50+ wins.

    Yeah but at least we will coast into the finals.. who's going to stop us? Lebron and his cavs? haha

    though when we win, I will feel as if we cheated our way to victory rather then trudge ourway there through the dirt

    I agree! I want to go through the Suns, Mavs and Spurs to win it all not the freaking Celtics and Pistons!

    I'd likely stop watching the regular season if we moved to the East.

    Wouldn't you rather have less 9:30 games and more 6:30 games?

    If anything, the Memphis Grizzlies would have dibs on moving to the east.

    But we would get 60+ wins in the East.

    I'm not sure I understand why any team would have to move to the east. Seattle's a western team that could still play in the west in OKC. Besides, geographically, the east already has too many teams, which is why Memphis and NOLA play in the west despite being on the wrong side of the Mississippi.

    The divisions would be unequal if Seattle moved into the SW Division. If it remained in the NW Division, then everything would be cool.

    New Orleans is on both sides of the Mississippi.

    The move to OKC is going to scramble the divisions within the conferences. If the Sonics move to OKC, then they'll be leaving the NW Division and possibly be joining the SW Division. Thus, most likely the Hornets are going to have to join the eastern conference and someone from the east (Bucks?) is going to have join the west.

    Man we should just get rid of this whole division nonsense. If only there are only 2 conference and no divisions.

    For the record if we go to the East, we'll most likely win 75.

    There needs to be an expansion team in Hawaii. That would solve all of our problems.

    NOLA and memphis are both more east than houston. it's not gonna happen.... i think okc will remain in the NW division.

    They will, and they'll actually be closer to most of the other teams in the NW division than Seattle was.

    if we went to the east we'd get 65+ wins at a minimum. playing some of those teams 3 or 4 times would be just ridiculous.

    i like the west, it means something to get to the finals.
