Since Seattle has retained the right to keep the Sonics name, what do you think they'll call the newest team in the NBA?

The Oklahoma ???? :-k
 
There is a LONG history of teams keeping their former names when moving cities. Will be inerested to see if they DONT keep the Sonics title.
 
At least their name might make sense now.

How many lakes are there in LA?

Does anyone care about Jazz music in Utah??
 
What do they have in Oklahoma?

On that note, how many Grizzlies exist in Memphis? Or Raptors in Toronto :p
 
What's OKC famous for?? (Other than the 1995 bombing by Timothy McVeigh)

Here's a list of their other teams and names from Wiki -
