Per wiretap, NBA has trademarked a possible 5 names to choose from for the New Orleans team,
Personally, I think all of them sound kind of lame... :dontknow:

but, given the choices I'd go with Swamp Dogs :lol:

EDIT: for those that don't know what a Rougarou is...it's like a Werewolf, search it on google images, looks kinda sick

Starting to like Rougarou, its different, relates to the area and can be shortened. Its growing on me.
Could go for 'Roux' on the Jerseys or something, idk.
or the French spelling 'Loup-Garou'.

Rougarou would be an awesome mascot.

It's obviously going to be Pelicans.

Rougarou is getting a lot of love on the Hornets board though.

Swamp dogs sounds cool. So does Rougarou.

Rougarou for sure is the best name.

I like The New Orleans Bullsharks.

I like rougarou and swamp dogs

Bullsharks sounds like a name a d-league team would use but I get the tie to Louisiana at least

Pelicans is only alright because it is the state bird and I could picture a hilarious mascot

Mosquitoes I get the tie but that would be awful IMO

Why the hell can't they just pick a decent name? These are all awful.

The Rougarou actually sound pretty sweet...maybe eve the Bayou Rougarou

No idea who thought Mosquitoes would be a good name, though.
