I dunno why but for Knicks its Knickerbockers I think its like a type of pants. Pacers is like a car I think. Clippers I think are sailers. SPur is like a bone.
Clipper is a boat. Spur is a part of the back of a cowboy boot. I doubt Sonics are Sonics because the Sega character...I dont think Sonic was around in the late 60's when Seattle came up with that name. Seems like you just guessed on these

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The Raptors were so named as a result of a "Name Game" contest which was instituted nationwide to name the team and develop team colours and a logo. The "Name Game" generated more than 2000 entries and the final top-10 list was dominated by animal names: Beavers, Bobcats, Dragons, Grizzlies, Hogs (Toronto's nickname is Hogtown), Raptors, Scorpions, T-Rex, Tarantulas, and Terriers.[2]On 15 May, 1994, the team's new moniker, the Toronto Raptors, was unveiled on Canadian national television.[2] The team's logo, along with its first General Manager Isiah Thomas, were unveiled on 24 May, 1994.[2] In its first season and for some seasons to come, the Raptors would compete in the Central Division,[3] before competing under the Atlantic Division in 2004-05.</div>

Redneck-For the Lakers, they used to be in Minny, which has like over 10,000 lakes. That's where the name came from.
