    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.

    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.
