No grand shock to the division alignment for next year. Charlotte stays in the East. Lowell moves to Albany and takes Albany’s spot in the East, and in the Glens Falls rivalry.
That leaves seven teams in the Atlantic. Presumably there will be a crossover effect, where the East’s fifth-place team can knock out the Atlantic’s fourth-place team, but that’s to come.
OKC slides into the West to make that an eight-team division.
