Funny stuff. How about New Orleans getting the Jazz name back from Utah, Charlotte getting the Hornets back and Utah can find a new name!!!

New Orleans Katrina's

I thought Brass would have been more fitting

I thought the New Orleans NBA team should have been called New Orleans Levees, and the WNBA team should be the New Orleans Dykes.

[Untied]

The Seattle Supersonics

New Orleans Jazz <---- best one

Other good ones not listed:

New Orleans Souls
New Orleans Sazerac's
New Orleans Hurricane's (obviously)
New Orleans Voo Doo
New Orleans Storm

My personal favorite: which would memorialize the Hornets name by going completely away from that - turning it retro cool immediately - while also being an awesome money grab would be to rebrand them completely.

Rebrand it Crescent City (the alliteration can be awesome on that)

heard charlotte is probably gonna go back to the Hornets

NBA shouldn't allow this shit

done strictly to generate revenue from die hard fans(all 4 of the in Nawlins and Charlotte)

Teams should just change their names when they relocate. The community would feel more like the team is "theirs" with a mascot change
