New Orleans should change their name, but not to the Pelicans. I think they should bring back the Jazz nickname in a four team name swap. The Hornets name goes back to Charlotte, New Orleans get the Jazz nickname. The Grizzlies name goes to Utah and Memphis become the Bobcats.

To clarify, it would be: New Orleans Jazz, Charlotte Hornets, Utah Grizzlies and the Memphis Bobcats.

I actually think this is a good idea. Then just move the kings (sorry my dudes) to seattle and call them the sonics and all will be good.

Utah should be the "Honeybees" which derives from the original name of Utah Territory "Deseret" that the Mormons gave it....
