As many of us already know, the NBA expansion is "not off the table". But it seems like it won't happen until 2016, the year when the league's current television deal will expire. When we think of a 32-team league, we think of the NFL. It has two conferences each divided into four divisions. And now, let's get back to the NBA and imagine what would the league look when (yes, when) it will have 32 teams...

First off, allow me to reintroduce your Seattle SuuuuuuuuuuperSonics and Kansas City's team!

American Conference, Pacific Division (AC Pacific, ACP):

• Denver Nuggets
• Los Angeles Lakers
• Sacramento Kings
• Seattle SuperSonics

American Conference, Southern Division (AC South, ACS):

• Atlanta Hawks
• Dallas Mavericks
• Houston Rockets
• Phoenix Suns

American Conference, Midwest Division (AC Midwest, ACM):

• Chicago Bulls
• Cleveland Cavaliers
• Indiana Pacers
• Kansas City's NBA team
  

American Conference, Atlantic Division (AC Atlantic, ACA):

• Boston Celtics
• Charlotte Hornets
• Miami Heat
• Orlando Magic

National Conference, Pacific Division (NC Pacific, NCP):

• Golden State Warriors
• Los Angeles Clippers
• Portland Trail Blazers
• Utah Jazz

National Conference, Southern Division (NC Southern, NCS):

• Memphis Grizzlies
• New Orleans Pelicans
• Oklahoma City Thunder
• San Antonio Spurs

National Conference, Midwest Division (NC Midwest, NCM):

• Detroit Pistons
• Milwaukee Bucks
• Minnesota Timberwolves
• Toronto Raptors

National Conference, Atlantic Division (NC Atlantic, NCA):

• Brooklyn Nets
• New York Knicks
• Philadelphia 76ers
• Washington Wizards

I thought that each division should have two "top" and two "bottom" teams for balance, but that is not always the case - Midwest Division of the National Conference, or NCM, is seemingly the weakest division, while NC's Southern Division, or NCS, is probably the powerhouse one. NCA's is the geographically smallest division, while AC Southern's teams would have to fly a bit more than usual.

What are your thoughts on a possible NBA realignment?

P. S. Let's have a Name The Team contest for Kansas City's possible team.
