I splurged on the Park Hyatt Shinjuku (well, I cashed in points)... may never leave... going to need to set up a VPN so I can still watch the playoffs

How are the soaplands? Too bad the no pan kissas got removed. Make sure to check Kabukicho so you can see the area that Kiryu made famous.

This looks to pretty much nail it... though I have to ask... what's the point of even having divisions? I never even look at the division standings and honestly I can't even remember who is in what division.

Unless the NBA is going to grant automatic playoff berths to division winners... what's the point? In this hypothetical map, to use a practical example, would GSW be given an automatic Top 6 (or even Top 4) berth? Go back to the old days when you had worse teams with home court advantage in the first round because they were division winners?

One thing that might be a factor is whether having two mega-market teams in a division gets the best revenue draw and competitiveness league wide; ex: LAC and LAL or NYK and BRO.

We're going NFL-style.. I would swap Philly and Toronto just to keep the East coast teams together. The north west will be the weakest division for a while. In the medium term, I expect Vegas to be an attractive free agency destination and could be the next best thing after the Lakers..

Looks beautiful. No complaints getting Antman out of our conference either long term.
Makes way too much sense for the NBA to actually implement though tbqh, the real solution will be significantly less elegant
