Rather than moving, how 'bout the Sonics dissolving? It could be the first and others can follow suit. Soon, the NBA would be no more and we'd no longer be burdened with that atrocity.

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.

I like both Outlaws and Barons. Those are pretty good.

The Colts.

I believe the Ravens were an expansion team.

Ravens stole the Browns from Cleveland. The current Browns are an expansion team.

That's right. I forgot about that.

Call the OKC team the Ravin' Colts.
