Re: Expansion and Re-Alignment
Posted: Wed May 17, 2017 4:44 pm
Here are 2 quick realignments that I came up with. I really don't know many rivalries or who people would like to be in divisions with outside of people who I've been rivals with in the past. If I got everyone to send me 2-3 teams they'd like to be in a division with, I could make a better one that would make everyone happy. I basically went with what I knew, and if I wasn't sure, I tried to keep it similar to current divisions.WigNosy wrote: Wed May 17, 2017 3:43 pmIt's not off the table, but my sense was there was not a lot of support for it. I would love to see a counter-suggestion with other possible alignments.Bowtothebill23 wrote: Wed May 17, 2017 3:23 pm Is the idea of creating our own 6 divisions off the table?
First Proposal: Rivalries
CONFERENCE 1:
Division 1: Kings, Warriors, Chad, Blazers, Clippers ---> I know the most about my rivals and who their rivals are. This keeps some of the Pacific together and adds Chad who is an old rival of mine and Tani's
Division 2: 76ers, Bucks, Lakers, Hornets, Jazz ---> Scott, Doug, and Tray are good friends, Nick's gotten to know them over skype, and Gary is friends with Doug
Division 3: Nuggets, Wolves, Bulls, Mavs, Magic ---> The Raby + people Raby referred and Ryan division
CONFERENCE 2:
Division 1: Hawks, Raptors, Pacers, Cavs, Pistons ---> Didn't know much so I kept the Central together
Division 2: Rockets, Nets, Spurs, Sonics, Grizzlies ---> People who have been in the league since the very beginning, RPF and Eazy are in a division together
Divsion 3: Wizards, Heat, Suns, Celtics, Knicks ---> Again, didn't know much about Eastern teams so I kept Atlantic together but united Messis
Second proposal: Competitive balance
I tried to spread out the best GMs over each conference and division. After the first bit, I just tried to make rivalries and spread out new GMs
CONFERENCE 1:
Division 1: Hawks, Rockets, Pacers, Knicks, Sonics
Division 2: Chad, Blazers, Mavs, Grizzlies, Cavs
Division 3: Nuggets, Celtics, Suns, Heat, Magic
CONFERENCE 2:
Division 1: 76ers, Wizards, Nets, Spurs, Pistons
Division 2: Kings, Warriors, Hornets, Clippers, Jazz
Division 3: Bucks, Raptors, Wolves, Lakers, Bulls
Again, if there was interest, I could take everyone's preferences and try to make divisions people would like more for either proposal. Even for the second proposal, there's probably a top top tier of GMs, and after that, there's not a WHOLE lot of difference between the rest of the league so we could focus more on rivalries. These 2 proposals would hopefully A) create more competitive divisions, and B) Make division competition and rivalries stronger
