Re: 2012-13 Around the NBA thread
Yep. Softball maybe.
I do think Hornets belongs in Charlotte though, but Pelicans is really bad. Well-done logo at least. Cajuns might have been a great name...have an evil-looking lobster/crawdad for a mascot. Red, orange and black colors.

Re: 2012-13 Around the NBA thread
Yeah, but someone would say it was racist. You know that would happen. Ole Miss had to stop using their mascot Colonel Reb because people were "offended". He looks like the KFC guy, he was a harmless mascot.
 A bird was the safe approach.

Re: 2012-13 Around the NBA thread
North Dakota got burnt too. They can't be the "Fighting Sioux" becasuse they put it on the ballot after the NCAA threatened them. I think the taxpayers just didn't want the legal fight.
The NCAA said the team would have to forfeit games if they used the name in the NCAA Tourney (hockey). They're a championship-caliber team too. I remember the same threats against the FSU Seminoles in the NCAA basketball tourney. They could not use their name or mascot anywhere during tournament play. It's a tribe name, of a tribe in Florida. What is offensive? I hate this crap. I really hate it because so many people are giving into it and they'll never stop harassing the Redskins. U of Miami in Ohio has already changed from the Redskins to the stupid name of the Redhawks. Why are people making up types of hawks? Redhawks? Seahawks? Hawks should sue. No one wants angry hawks. Redskins fans may want to keep an eye on North Dakota tonight - The Washington Post

Re: 2012-13 Around the NBA thread
Sacramento deserved better. This is just like the Browns moving to Baltimore

Re: 2012-13 Around the NBA thread
Except the Browns actually had a long history and success in their league.
I'm sure Kansas City felt just as cheated when Sacramento "stole" their team too. This is a franchise that has never been able to find a true home or success. With the Lakers, Clippers and Warriors in CA, the Kings just didn't have much of a following. I don't think Seattle necessarily needs a team, because if they had supported the Sonics and made ir more profitable for them to stay, they would not have lost the team in the first place. But, Stern wanted one thing before he retired, to be the man that brought a team back to Seattle. He's hoping that last act will somehow repair his legacy of unpopular decisions.

Can't tell you how often I used to watch BK play back during his days with the Bullets. He carried that team.
