Bonus if you complain about traffic and the layout of the city and talk about how the city needs to "move forward" beyond "old style thinking".

"I'm being very sincere and direct, I've probably gotten 8,000 e-mails, and I'll betcha 2,500 of them have argued very passionately why we should change the name back to the Bullets, or why we should keep the name Wizards, or why we should have a new name," he said. "And a re-branding effort is truly a massive undertaking, because people forget, you're not just changing a name or creating a new name in your own building for your own team, it ripples through national television, all the local networks, all the local teams. I mean, it's a big effort, and it honestly takes no less than 25 months, and it's millions and millions and millions of dollars.
"And so I have so much to do, and there's so much work immediately in front of us, and there are so many investments that we need to make, I've honestly decided to just punt on the decision. I don't think it's a decision that heeds to be reached right now. I think the most important thing is rebuild the team and get through this list of 101 things to do.

"I do want to change the colors. I think that it's very natural for all of the teams to play in that building to sport a red, white and blue motif, and so yes, the fans can expect some kind of re-imagineering, an homage to the past in terms of colors and design. But as to the name change, there really is zero going on right now."
