I have a tendency to constantly look ahead in following sports, so I've been pondering the subject of the expansion draft coming up for the NBA's long-overdue 30th team, the Charlotte Bobcats. This may be a chance for some teams to dangle overpriced veterans out there for someone else to pick up, freeing up valuable salary cap room. My Knicks would be wise to use this route to get under the cap. Allan Houston, Shandon Anderson, and Howard Eisley could be picked up, and the Knicks would be better for it. Also, with realignment next year in place, the divisions are as follows:

Eastern Conference

Atlantic

Boston
New Jersey
New York
Philadelphia
Toronto

Southeast

Atlanta
Charlotte
Miami
Orlando
Washington

Central

Chicago
Cleveland
Detroit
Indiana
Milwaukee

Western Conference

Southwest

Dallas
Houston
Memphis
New Orleans
San Antonio

Northwest

Denver
Minnesota
Portland
Seattle
Utah

Golden State
L.A. Clippers
L.A. Lakers
Phoenix
Sacramento
