Exactly my point. The Lakers name should have stayed in Minneapolis, New Orleans should still be the Jazz, there are no Cardinals in Phoenix. The names should stay with the original cities. Team moves, team gets new name. The best example I can think of is when the Dallas Texans moved to KC and became the Chiefs. Texans was left behind. The new franchise had the option to pick it up, but chose Cowboys instead. Houston should have been able to resurrect the Oilers....but ended up the Texans instead because the Oilers name was in Tennessee before they changed it to the Titans.
