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.

i don’t think you’re ever gonna get a majority of owners to approve this. not only would eastern conference teams not want it for obvious reasons, the travel would also hit coastal teams much harder than central/mountain teams.

Such a revision would require half of the East to vote in favor, with many middling teams voting against their best interests. No one we spoke with expects that to change.
