NBA Re-Alignment Pick
>> Wednesday
Calling it right now. The word is that the Sonics are moving to OKC to the collective yawn from the Puget Sounders. Doesn't make a lot of sense to move the team to within driving distance of Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio, then tell the local populace their rivals are in the Northwest Division, featuring Portland and Minnesota.
So here it is.
- Seattle moves to Oklahoma City.
- OKC Sonics move from Northwest to Southwest Division (Texas rivals as well as former NOLA/OKC Hornets).
- Replaced by Milwaukee, who moves from the Central to the Northwest (rivalry with Minnesota?)
- Milwaukee is replaced in the Central by Memphis.
Portland, Utah, Denver, Minnesota, Milwaukee
Southwest Division
Oklahoma City, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, New Orleans
Central Division
Memphis, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Indiana
Speculation? Dadgummed right (gave up swearing for Lent), but no different than Joe Lunardi filling out a bracket in July.

How bout putting the OKC Sonics in the divison with 5 teams from Eroupe. Or we can wait a few more years and put them in with the Cuba, Panama, Mexico City and Las Vegas. Or that damn whiny owners group can shut the hell up and enjoy their 27 dollar lattes, apples and sweet onions. And the name should be changed to the Seattle SuperGrandes
If I'm the owner of the Seattle Supersonicas, first of all, I would celebrate Hanukkah, and second of all, I'd be pretty pissed. From what I understand about the situation, Stern's basically dragging them through an expensive legal ordeal, stiffing them on repayment, and snatching away the team to boot.
As far as expansion into Europe, I was talking about this with my mom the other night--could you imagine how horrible it would be to sit through five or six national anthems before the All-Star Game? Either just have the anthem of the country where the game is being played--same goes for baseball--or do away with it completely. No one gives a shit about Canada except Steve Nash and Jason Bay. I'm sure Chris Bosh would've felt totally excluded if they hadn't performed it. Shyah.
Also, I love how our last two posts have included the tags of "filler" and "YCS hasn't had much new material recently." We've gotten sooooo lazy. Let's pick it up, people! Mike--quit studying for law school. Paul--quit studying for med school. Nate--quit spending time with your son. You guys should be posting!
You guys should do a post about the Odyssey, maybe comparing it to the career of Brad Ausmus or something.-Stephen
As YCS' resident English major (and guy who is awesome), I'm taking that challenge, Stephen. Expect your post to be soon forthcoming.
If you do make that post, I'll be sure to thrill our readers with my degree that actually renders real world value with a post comparing ExW-L to rainfall frequency or BOD curves or something.
