Prokhorov may change the name of the Nets Vol. No WNBA-esque names aka What would you name them

[ramzs8906]

"Let me ask you some questions," Prokhorov said to a small group of reporters during a private brunch meeting at the Four Seasons Hotel in Manhattan. "What about the name of the team? Is it okay, the Nets? Or do we have to try to find something new?

"I'm a foreigner, you know," he said. "I need your piece of advice. I can put Russian name and nobody knows what it is. I can put the name of a girlfriend and every time I change, I need to change the name of the team (

)." - Mikhail Prokhorov (source: http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/blog/ba...might-rename-the-New-Jersey-Ne?urn=nba,242483)

That said: What do y'all think about the supposed name change?

And what would you rename the Nets if given the responsibility?

Some ideas columnists have already had:

There's actually a semi-pro soccer team (PDL) in Brooklyn called the Knights.

I have a feeling that this dude is going to do good things for the Nets... I dunno what it is, but I can see him being a huge part of the franchise resurgence.

 

[persiafly]

When the move to Brooklyn first became public there was talk of changing the team name to the Bounce or the Bombers. I love the Bombers name, but obviously you can't get away with that these days, especially in New York (which I understand and respect).

Some other suggestions:

- Brooklyn Beasts
- Brooklyn Bang
- Brooklyn B.I.G.s
- Brooklyn Beyonces
- Brooklyn Kalishnokovs
- Brooklyn Blues
- Brooklyn Breastusses
- Brooklyn Blaze
- Brooklyn So My Yacht's in a Tow Away Zone, I Don't Care that Yacht Throw Away Homes
- Brooklyn We Refused to Leave Phillips Arena at First Until We Found Out it was the Wrong Georgias
- Brooklyn Turrbles

I've liked what he plans on doing for awhile... But I'd rather him keep the name the same...
