Wildcatters. Of course they'll have to first negotiate with whoever owns the name of the now defunct Wyoming Wildcatters, formerly of the CBA. But that's what it will be, book it.

Back in 1995, I wanted to start selling bumper stickers that said "My other car is a Ryder Truck" but for some reason nobody was interested in my idea. Saome people have no sense of humor.

It will be something like the landrunners or the 89ers or the centennials or whatever. I give them a shelf life of two years.

From what I have read the leading contenders fall in the area of western themes (Bandits, Barons, Outlaws) or weather (Twisters, Whirlwinds, etc). Another name that has been discussed is OKC Energy. The local rag seemed to like Barons with a black and gold color scheme. However, the NBA and lawyers have to get in the act so they don't violate any other sports teams' service marks. I don't think anyone really knows what they'll come up with.

FWIW in the NBA summer league they are being called NBA OKC.
