The Official NBA Season Thread: Business is about to pick up 🗣️

[RustyShackleford]

People I have talk to all like the idea that the NBA should buy the name "Lights" from the minor league soccer team for an NBA franchise.

All the new sports team names are terrible.

Old or new, most team names are corny. We stick with them because we are already accustomed to them.

Numerous baseball teams used to be named after stockings.

A Vegas team is guaranteed to have a corny silly name like the Thunder do. The Commanders, The Guardians, The Kracken, THE TORONTO TEMPO. All the new sports team names are terrible.

The Valkeries are the best of these and its OK at best.

A list of unavailable names:

Aces (WNBA)
Kings (Sacramento)
Queens (well, you can still do that for a men's basketball team, if you want)
Jacks (I swear, if that is the team name for the Vegas NBA franchise, I'll never stop laughing)

It's gonna be desert related, and it's gonna be terrible.

Crazy that this was only 5 years ago. Cost him so much money and the prime of his career.

Animal names are hard to get wrong. Pick animals that live in that region and you're money.

There are no Kings in Sacramento. How many lakes are in Los Angeles? Magic isn't real. Black people don't live in Utah how are you the Jazz???

Tweet is old, so it'd really seven years old.

There are no Kings in Sacramento.

There are no Raptors in Toronto. Suns implies that there is more than one.

And even the ones that do, they look like some kind of variants (respectfully). Brothers on the Jazz all at the bottom of the #PatootieScale and I'm convinced it's just a sick LDS ploy to further their nefarious propaganda.

Stay woke.

Yea, maybe they can pick something great and cool like Knickerbockers

There’s a Kings in both NBA and NHL tho. So the Las Vegas Knights can easily work

Never met a Warrior in San Fran.

Golden State Tech Bro's would fit better.

 

[WASHED KING]

Las Vegas Parlays.

Might as well just lean all the way into the degeneracy.

Would be fire at the summer HOA meetings.

Golden State Incels would hit the spot

Las Vegas Spades

Makes sense. Billy D was his college coach and his hometown of St Louis not THAT far away.

 

[pmatic]

Only the Bulls.

Ainge trying to make amends with IT.
