I’ve seen mixed reaction to this news on Twitter earlier today. The NBA is going to consider getting rid of divisions. Check out the the details & let us know what you think…
Via PBT:
Commissioner in waiting Adam Silver (who takes over Feb. 1 when David Stern steps down) was on the new Sirius XM NBA channel Tuesday on the show “Long Range,” hosted by Ian Eagle and Steve Kerr and said the divisions are going to get a hard look.
“As David said, the league is in such great shape. I mean, Steve (Kerr) and I were talking basketball the other night out in Brooklyn and [he] raised the same question with me about whether divisions have outlived their usefulness. One thing I have learned from David over all those years…one thing he taught me and all of my colleagues at the NBA is every day we should wake up and take a fresh look at everything we do. And I think divisions fall into that category. Obviously historically, based on geography in terms of weighted schedule and convenience of travel, the goal was to enhance rivalries and I’m not sure if that’s still what’s happening and so that’s something I’m sure that the competition committee, when it next meets, will be taking a fresh look at.”
