    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Will they be called the D-Dogs, D-Fenders, L.A. Caliente, L.A. Breakers, L.A. Next, L.A. Sensation, L.A. Buss or L.A. Evolution?

    These are the choices for the name of the Lakers' new NBA Development League team, and the club is asking fans to vote for their favorite at http://www.lakers.com from Monday through Thursday.

    The Lakers are the first NBA franchise to own a D-League team, which allows them to control who coaches and who plays on their minor league team, much as a major league baseball team controls personnel on its minor league affiliates.

    The D-League season starts in November, and the Lakers' affiliate could play its 25 home games at Staples Center, preceding Laker games.

    As for the team's name, sorry, it's too late for nominations, so don't expect to see the L.A. Ponds, L.A. Puddles, L.A. D-List or, as another Times staffer suggested: " 'The Lakers' ? 11 of them were development league-quality players last season." </div>

    I like the L.A. Breakers

    Are you referring to Kwame Brown and Kobe Bryant by that?

    How about L.A Showtime! could be a classic name for LA. It sure brings back old memories of Magic Johnson.

    I like L.A. Breakers, but who cares no one watches the D-League.

    This is true, but the Lakers are the first team to actually own their own D-League team so it's going to be a lot different than how the current teams are set up. It's like having their own basketball minor league team, which is something I'll definitely keep track of and probably go to a lot of games if they play out in Anaheim.

    Their pretty lame names but I guess I would pick LA Evolution or LA Breakers. Weird I expected at least one person, to attempt to be funny and say LA ******.
