ATLANTIC CONFERENCE: Atlanta Hawks, Boston Celtics, Brooklyn Nets, Charlotte Hornets, New York Knicks, Philadelphia 76ers, Toronto Raptors, Washington Wizards
GULF CONFERENCE: Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets, Memphis Grizzlies, Miami Heat, New Orleans Pelicans, Oklahoma City Thunder, Orlando Magic, San Antonio Spurs
LAKES CONFERENCE: Chicago Bulls, Cleveland Cavaliers, Denver Nuggets, Detroit Pistons, Indiana Pacers, Milwaukee Bucks, Minnesota Timberwolves, Utah Jazz
PACIFIC CONFERENCE: Golden State Warriors, Las Vegas Stars, Los Angeles Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers, Phoenix Suns, Portland Trail Blazers, Sacramento Kings, Seattle SuperSonics
That's a fun idea.
& straight qualification would be unique for the pro leagues.
The only issue is that the Lakes Conference spans three time zones. The Western Conference does that now, but that's not something Cleveland, Indiana, and Detroit currently face.
