    IMO, this is how it should be:

    -Charlotte should get the Hornets
    -N.O. should get the Jazz
    -Utah should get the Timberwolves
    -Minn should get the Lakers
    -Sacramento should move to Seattle & be the Sonics
    -LA should be the Kings (I know theres a hockey team already)

    Well put. Going back to Hornets instead of rolling out something fresh like the Pelicans did is just another half-stepping failure by MJ who is unfit to operate a franchise. Charlotte has had two pathetic owners in-a-row and the dim view of the NBA product locally is justified. There comes a time when you take a patient off life-support. They should be sold and moved to Seattle or Las Vegas.

    Be able to afford your own sports franchise and run it the way you want to run it then.

    Yeah but Minn is the land of 10,000 lakes. SLC has but one

    I like L.A as the Lakers and Minnesota as Timberwolves, so no I don't agree with your idea. But Utah should change their name and give the Jazz name back to New Orleans.

    I'm from Houston and I think Texans is one of the worst team names in sports.

    This. I wanted Apollos, to go with the space theme like the Rockets and Astros.

    I agree. Is like Oakland Raiders changing their name to Oakland Californians. Or New York Giants changing their name to New York, New Yorkians. The Texans is a horrible name.
