Seattle and Vegas are in their first season and another franchise has relocated (New Orleans, Memphis)
If Seattle and Vegas are the expansion teams, Minnesota should be the team relocating to the Eastern Conference.
Minnesota travels more than any other team in the league due to being very isolated in their division
Considering Seattle would most likely join the Northwest Division and Vegas would most likely join either Pacific or Northwest Division, it makes more sense to move the Timberwolves and not the Grizzlies/Pelicans who are both in the Southwest Division
Historically Minnesota teams in other sports have bigger rivalries with the cities that are currently in the Eastern Conference (Chicago, Detroit, Green Bay, Milwaukee)
