I believe this is mostly media driven as BIG Media is in the East. There is no longer anything special about playing in New York and I believe the same can soon be said about LA (lakers) as players are choosing to go elsewhere and stay away from these organizations.
Back when the likes of Magic Johnson were making $10 million over four years, the ability to make at least half in endorsements was a huge draw to those cities. However, now that bench players are making $30-50 million over the same time period, cities such as Milwaukee are proving to be much more attractive.
Conference rivalries and Conference championships are what make the NBA so great!
