    At what point to the other teams in the NBA start grumbling to the league office about the competitive unfairness of having teams in such close proximity that practically halves your road schedule?

    If they move to Anaheim, they should change their name to the Lion Kings.

    Hey, why not? The Orlando Magic were named after the Magic Kingdom. And, while I've never been fond of that name, it beats the Orlando Epcotts all to hell.

    I thought when Clay Bennett and his co-conspitators stole the Sonics from Seattle, Stern promised the Emerald City they'd be first in line. Maybe that only applies to expansion franchises, not moves. Of course, Stern is now talking about contraction, not expansion. So, it may be quite a while before there are actually two NW teams in the NW Division.

    How will Los Angeles support 2 Clipper teams and 1 Laker team? I just don't see how they'll sell tickets. After 1-2 seasons, 1 of the 2 Clipper teams will change owners and move out of town.

    As for the name, you can bet it will be something irrelevant to the area, like Lakers or Jazz or Grizzlies.

    There is 20 million people in So Cal. Orange county (Plus San Diego) is almost like Philly or Boston is to NewYork.

    Do you see where there is speculation that Pritchard may be their GM?

    Per the t-shirt comment in another thread: We may need a T-Shirt that says: Please KP, don't hurt us. I could see him working overtime to work us over. That is, if we'd even deal with him, which maybe we'd be better off not.
