      ...Ok...and? I didnt ask u about any alignments b...nor do I care about them. I wanna know why a City's team that is undeniably on the east coast...stationed in the Western Conference of the NBA...Makes no sense...

      Just becuz they moved from a place that was on the west coast doenst mean they stay in the western conference b...I mean...thats like sayin if the Mavs moved to New York then they would still be a Western Conference team cuz thats where they moved from...

        if the mavs moved to the east they would stay in the west. Its all about allignment. they are in the west bc it makes the west and east balenced with 20 teams. can u think of a eastern team to switch them with? The only team that switch with last years realingment was the New Orleans Hornets and the western Conference killed them. Every team would love to be in the east, but thats not how it is

          Who exactly in the East would move to the West?

          You have to have an even 15 teams for the East and West, otherwise the 5 team divisions don't work.

          Point is, Vancouver was in the West, moved to Memphis and is the reason Memphis is in the West currently.

          Better question is, why is Memphis still the Grizzlies, since there are no Grizzlies to be found besides the few here at the zoo.

            Are you slow? You asked why Memphis isnt in the Eastern Conf and he told you why.

                    Re: How Come Memphis Is In The Western Conference?

                    For years Milwaukee and Chicago were in the western conference, and the Spurs were in the Eastern Conference... It was very late until the league finally changed them... it was after the addition of some more teams and a serious alignment change...

                    Which is basically what the 2nd poster said...

                    which brings me my next question...

                    What the hell is wrong with you?

                      When Charlotte came into the league in 1988, they were in the Western Conference for a year or two.

                        Why is Memphis in the Western Conference?

                        Probably the same reason Indianapolis Colts are in the AFC South.
