Names rumored to be in the running
According to the guys calling the Orlando SPL game on NBA.com.
Red Barons
Thunder
Thunderbirds
I'd like the Barons if it was just that. "Red Baron" is a cheap, microwavable pizza.
Plain old "Thunder" sucks. That's a WNBA team. "Thunderbirds" is ok, I guess. Better than the Bobcats anyway.

Re: Names rumored to be in the running
Out of those, it better be the Barons.
Some poster posted a picture of Durant in a some Barons jersey (photoshopped of course) before and it looked pretty sweet.

Jars of Clay? Or would that lead to yet another lawsuit?

Re: Names rumored to be in the running
How about instead of thunder, they make it Lightning? That's hella cooler. The Red Barons would be rich though. They would in essence be taking a defunct team from one city and the defunct name from another. For those of you that don't know, the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Red Barons were a triple A affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies. They packed their bags and left two years ago, playing as the Ottawa Lynx last season and the Lehigh Valley Ironpigs this season. The Yankees leased out the old stadium in Moosic (the town that hosted the Red Barons) and placed their triple A affiliate there, giving them the name of Yankees. Why do I mention this? The Yankees double A affiliate is named the Thunder. Hmm.
They should eBay the name.

Re: Names rumored to be in the running
It should be the OKC Kevin Durants. He's pretty much a one-man show.
Other than that, I am in favor of the Red Barons idea with that pizza logo as their logo. Red Baron pizza is the ****.
Or...OU is the Sooners, so howabout this team is the Laters? Stupid idea? Ok.

Re: Names rumored to be in the running
I've heard that Outlaws is the leader. But really there's not been anything from the owners to say what the name is.

Kobe is not having Jordan's PPG because Kobe isnt selfish as Michael Jordan. He plays for the team where as Jordan played only for himself.
