Cross posting from the Oakland A's thread.
New Orleans Pelicans : Should be New Orleans Jazz
Utah Jazz: Should have changed the name. Makes zero sense. Change it to Salt Lake Saints, Utah Pioneers etc. I'll take suggestions.
Sacramento Kings: Inherited from the Kansas City Kings, who were the Rochester Royals. Kings name should have been dropped. Better yet, move them and renew the Seattle Sonics. I'll take suggestions here too.
Los Angeles Lakers: Minneapolis Lakers should have been changed to something more suited to LA. Los Angeles Asshats of Anaheim, suggestions welcome.
Minnesota Timberwolves : Should be Minnesota Lakers
Memphis Grizzlies : Originally from Vancouver. You can actually take the Kings name and it fits better here for different reasons.
Team names that could use a rebrand: Washington Wizards (formerly Baltimore Bullets) , Brooklyn Nets (New Jersey)
This has always bothered me. Charlotte recently reclaimed Hornets, as it was specific to the city. That righted one wrong.The Kansas City Phillies would be even more silly than the Utah Jazz.
