It really should be done this way, there’s always good west teams that miss the playoffs and some awful East teams make it yearly.

    Per the article, half of Eastern Conference teams would need to sign onto this, which experts don’t think will happen any time soon. Given that additions of Las Vegas +1 other team are obviously on the league’s horizon, I could see this 1-16 seeding and possibly re-allocating a couple teams to different conferences happening with the expansion to 32 teams

      Yeah I think when expansion happens is the time they’ll do it if it ever happens. Outside of that I agree the East teams won’t do it.
