The NBA now has 6 names for the new team to decide on: Barons, Bison, Energy, Marshalls, Thunder and Wind. Which one do you prefer? I personally like the name 'Barons', it sounds more original than the other names listed.
Ahhh, seems like my Fanpost isn't long enough to be posted. Here's a couple more words:
Baron Davis
Jason Richardson
Monta Ellis
Stephen Jackson
Al Harrington
Andris Biedrins
Kelenna Azubuike
Mickael Pietrus
Matt Barnes
Patrick O'Bryant
Adonal Foyle
Josh Powell
Zarko Cabarkapa
Sarunas Jasikevicius

those names
are so lame. ENERGY? please. the only good name is thunder, but that’s stealin the warriors mojo and it’s wrong! I can’t believe these are the best 6 they came up with… who the hell works in the naming department for the nba?!

There’s already a Baron Davis in the league, and Bison Dele already had a career here. You’d think these are reasons to reject those options. They probably thought that the Orlando Magic were named after Magic Johnson so they said what the hell.

They should call the team the Manutes,
I think Outlaws would have been a fantastic name ala Travis and Bo.

part of the deal
was that the team would have to come up with a new name in OKC, in case an nba came back to seattle.

The "Claybailers"
A nice agricultural sounding name , includes the owners name and style.

Wind?
Seriously? Would they have a promotional kick-off night involving large helpings of beans? Or maybe they make a big splash by signing Beans?
Blecch. I hate all those options. I guess the least offensive are Barons and Marshalls, despite their evocation of bygone Warriors.
I was really hoping for the Oklahoma City ” ! “
Sign ^^^^ !!

these sound like
WNBA names…I mean, Wind? Energy? They should go up against the Sparks and see what happens. Bison makes sense, since they came pretty close to extinction…I guess this is the comeback
...never a fairweather fan...

wow
those are all really dumb names… whoever came up with those should be fired. seriously, high schools regularly come up with better names.

has a nice ring to it…

Bombers?
Wasn’t there a yay area girls roller derby team with that name years ago( with a big tough blonde named joni mitchell)?
Was setting up my favorite teams in the profile and noticed there’s a college team called the game cocks , thunder doesn’t sound so bad now.
