The Relocation Association 2.0

[Crystar500]

Welcome back, comrades! 2K14 is here and The Relocation Association is here once again!

I've done different relocations and rebrandings this time around, so it'll be a bit more interesting. I'm taking the New York Knicks again, since the last Association flowed so well with them.

Rebrands:

The Charlotte Bobcats, New Orleans Pelicans and Utah Jazz have confirmed a 3-team name trade.

New Orleans sent the Pelicans name to Charlotte, which Charlotte then changed to the Hornets. Charlotte is now known as the Charlotte Hornets.

Team Statement:

"Well, you know, we're happy about the move. What we will do that may surprise most of you is.. we're keeping the old Bobcats colors, but using the Hornet logo. Which means all the logos and merchandise will be Hornets, but in Bobcat colors. This way, we're merging the cultures of the two franchises we've had here in Charlotte."

- Micheal Jordan, Charlotte Hornets Owner

New Orleans is receiving the Jazz brand back from Utah. A name they had a very long time ago.

"I think I can speak for everyone when I say that Jazz is a name truly representative of New Orleans. Jazz is something part of New Orleans' culture. Our sales will skyrocket in terms of merchandise with this brand and no longer will our franchise's future here be questioned."

- New Orleans Management

Utah is receiving the back end of this deal and is obtaining cash considerations along with the Bobcats brand from Charlotte.

"As we reboot our franchise, changes are neccessary. A new age of the Bobcats will soon arise in Utah. Jazz had nothing to do with the culture of Utah anyways. Bobcats is a bit more significant if you look at our state's wildlife. Hornets is named after the courage of officers during the Civil War in North Carolina and Jazz is pretty obvious for NOLA. It's a win-win."

Relocation:

Bucks shipped to Seattle, renamed Sonics

David Stern has recently announced that the Bucks will be heading to Seattle. The Sonics are in the league once again, although it will take time for them to get relevant again.



Giannis: "I think it's great.. although I may never be able to play in Milwaukee. So far, Milwaukee is nice place to me, but what I've heard of Seattle is nice too. As someone foreign to this country, it can be a bit confusing to run between different cities so much."

Nate: "Hey, it's cool with me. Like he said, it's a bit hectic to just arrive in a new city and then immediately be shipped off to another one, but hey, that's how the NBA runs I suppose. Seattle, here we come!"

Timberwolves headed to New Jersey - NY/NJ rivalry lives on

"You know, when they told me we were headed to New Jersey, I was all 'What? New Jersey? What's wrong with Minnesota?!' Now, I have to look at it rationally and see that we should make the most of this. Plus, the new uniforms and colors look amazing. I'm surprised they actually pulled off a team named Nuclear that well. Also, once we get to the IZOD Center, we'll have rivals for the first time. So, there's a bit of pressure to impress against those across the river. And it's not just the Knicks, no! We're taking Brooklyn on too! If three teams could be on the floor at the same time, you'd see some pretty intense basketball."

- Kevin Love, PF of the now New Jersey Nuclear

There you have it! The triangle rivalry of New York, New Jersey and Brooklyn. Who will come out on top?

REPORT: The Toronto Raptors have taken the Timberwolves brand over, replacing the Raptors brand.

Seemed interesting at first, but a little too much to take in right away. Sorry but will not be following.

I find this stupid, but that's just me. It does not matter to me at all. The relocations and rebrands seemed fine to me.

I know it's just kind of hard to keep up with know what I mean?
