New Orleans NOT getting "Jazz" name back, per Greg Miller

[chawx]

Greg Miller @GregInUtah
The window of opportunity to change our name closed shortly after we moved to Utah from NOLA. We are Utah Jazz. And we always will be.

That ends that discussion, I guess.

Plus Stern came out a few days ago and said that the Jazz name belonged in Utah.

This whole thing was non news anyways.

A name change was out of the question.

So Greg is negotiating hard, I see. Reps to Greg.

Here's how you do it:

-L.A. gives the Laker nickname back to Minnesota. The Timberwolve nickname is not passed on.

-Utah gives the Jazz nickname back to New Orleans. The Hornet nickname is not passed on.

-Utah becomes the Utah (insert lame snow/mountain reference here)

-L.A. becomes the L.A. Fairweather, B-lister, Hipster, Douchebags. I know it's a long name, but I really think it has a ring to it.

Everybody wins.

You can tell what level a sports league is at by looking at the number of unnecessarily doubled letters, Ss written as Zs, Cs written as Ks, and capital letters in the middle of the word in team names.

So we can watch him sit on the bench for 80% of the season?
