I can imagine the fun rivals would have had w/the Miami Beaches.

I don't know why David Stern rejected the Memphis name change. Corporations can pay to name arenas, but not franchises?

NJ Swamp/Fire Dragons? Come again?

Orlando Challengers would have been cool.

Phoenix Dudes would have been awesome.
