As much as I don't want the playoff format to change, Imbalance in the NBA comes from the way the playoffs are set up in a way.

The west teams that are good already go into the lottery as opposed to the eastern teams that are bad, so the west only gets stronger. Bad picks from the 7 eastern conference teams help also but the western teams benefit greatly from being able to add a lottery pick to a team that is already in the cusp of the playoffs.

I want to see how it shifts after some guys retire, and some guys from the west maybe move east before I definitively say it should change, but the gap between the east and the west is far too wide.
