My comments: For the east, Atlantic looks good, though Toronto is move of a Central team. Central is perfect, Atlanta was never a Central team. Southeast is good, Washington is the only question mark, I guess it's in between the Atlantic and Southeast.
For the west, Southwest, New Orleans like Washington is in between, Southeast and Southwest. Northwest looks good, but Minnesota is more of a central type. Pacific is perfect.

The Southeast Division is by far the weakest and a team like Atlanta could even win it.

The Southwest is definitely the toughest, and Memphis and New Orleans got the worst deal out of all this. I can see why they are upset about it - especially Memphis.

Divsion winners will not get home court automatically though, it still goes by records.

I didnt know they were making new divisions. As weak as the east is, why did they take out New Orleans? They should have put Minnesota and Houston in the East as well. Put Atlanta and Miami in the West. It doesnt work geographically but the East needs some better teams. That SouthWest Div is scary.
