Rename the Pistons

There's a thread on the general board about renaming NBA teams (we are deep in the offseason, after all). Thought we'd
do our own miniature version.
If the Pistons decided they were changing their name, what would your choice be for the new name?

Move them to Flint first and then rename them the Tropics.

I would steal "Drive" from our DLeague affiliates. The Detroit (or Motor City) Drive.

The Detroit Thundercats, to go with Lions and Tigers and steal Oklahoma's thunder.

Bears is the obvious choice no?

The Hopcats, to play along with this sacrilege.

Drive is good. If Oakland/SF can be Golden State, I'd like us to be Motor City (not just as an alt), as the Motor City Machine sounds good to me.

Oh my!
The Detroit Gores. It appeals to Tom Gores' ego, and they could have a crazy looking bull goring the mascot of the other team.
Honestly, I couldn't imagine this team with a different name. It's synonymous with the history of the city and carries too much cache to drop.

That guy who made the thread on the GB is an idiot. No reason to ever do anything he does.

The Hornets. I mean, what's the harm in having two teams pretend to be the franchise of LJ, Mourning, Muggsy, Glen Rice and Baron Davis?

Ha, no you're not losing it. I'm just taking a vacation from my home team until they show me they're not one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.

You guys already have a great team name and the GB thread was lame.

That's what I've been trying to tell them. You're preaching to the choir, man.
