Does anyone know how the conferences will be split up next year after the changes happen. The new Charlotte Bobcats are joining the Eastern conference and the New Orleans Hornets going to the Western conference. And does the division winner automatically get a seed for the playoffs like in the NFL?

No it is still 8 from each.

These new divisions are great for the Heat. They are practically guaranteed a top 3 playoff spot. Because they are gonna win the southeast division over Atlanta, Orlando, Charlotte and Washington.

I'd have to say the Bulls in the central division will be in the tougher of the three. I like these divisions a lot tho! thanks for the link mizenkay.

Yes i think so. The division winner gets the automatic spot. So 8-division winners = FOR GRAB.
