Seriously, just fight 'em for it.

With all due respect to the Utah franchise's history and winning ways, that name is meant for New Orleans, it turned from a representation of a city's history into just another nickname once the Jazz moved to Utah, and absolutely nobody would side with the Utah Jazz in this conflict.

[NovU]

Agreed. Utha, cough up the name or else.

[Oznogrd]

Louisiana has plenty of other things besides jazz. Find something else to be and let the Jazz stay in Utah.

[Andrew]

While the Jazz moniker obviously suits New Orleans much more than Utah, they own the name and they've had it for decades. I don't think there's anything wrong with them keeping the Hornets name but if it absolutely must be changed, as Oz said there are other names to pick from.

Meanwhile, it's good to see the league find a buyer for the team and put an end to the conflict of interest that came to a head with the vetoed Chris Paul deal.

I agree. If we take the Charlotte Hornets name, it will bring some crazy nostalgia. Just having this discussion makes me want 2001-ish Baron Davis back. I'd be happy to have his old, overweight self in Charlotte again, as long he doesn't have another herniated dick.

No matter what the name is Charlotte's NBA D-League team still sucks big time nuts.

I'd say they'll be the Hornets for at least one more season.

New Orleans Hurricanes!

Question: What is the difference between hurricanes and tornadoes?

Answer: Hurricanes and tornadoes are both damaging windstorms, but they are very different phenomena. One is a large weather system and the other is an isolated weather event. A hurricane is a huge airmass that can be more than 1000 miles across, while a tornado is seldom more than 1 mile across, and often much less.

[benji]

Yeah, I bet that one goes over just swell.

[shadowgrin]

You are an idiot. You do know what happened with a certain named hurricane and New Orleans right?

[benji]

No, you are an idiot!

[shadowgrin]

You're the idiot. You don't even know the difference between a hurricane, typhoon, and cyclone. Even more so with a tornado, whirlwind, dust devil, and waterspout. You don't even know how to differentiate earthquake from typhoon.

[NovU]

Hurrycane and tuttlenades are sorta like Canadiens and Canadian. Same shit, grin.

[kingjames23]

New Orleans Jazz
Charlotte Hornets
Utah Bobcats

Pick other names but not Jazz this name has been in the league for more than a decade.

[Stress Fracture]

Pick other names but not Jazz this name has been in the league for almost 4 decades.

Fixed.

[Bulls#1]
