subject: Idea for NBA realignment

transfer out inorder 
Having confronted Dr. David, Bob Eldred, International Man Of Mystery, 
exclaimed:
 
 DGR> Your argument is still valid, who would you transfer out inorder  
 DGR> for Vancouver to play in the same division as Seattle and Portland?   
 DGR> So one reason is not a justification make.... 
 
 BE> We could move Phoenix out.  Arizona isn't a Pacific state.
     But Arizona is closer to California than Texas, and Phoenix's 
nearest neighbouring NBA franchises are the two L.A. teams. The Suns 
must have vetoed a move at the time of expansion.  It might well be due 
to travel costs, assuming the schedule is unbalanced in favour of 
divisions and is not conference balanced which would make everything a 
moot point since a change then would not assist the Grizzlies in any 
way.
                                         Sincerely Yours
