If the Seattle Sonics move to Oklahoma City should they change the team name?

The NHL and NFL had franchises relocate to other cities and changed the team names should the Sonics do the same? And if this does happen do you think that the NBA should realign the divisions? Like for instance send the Hornets or Timberwolves to the Eastern Conference.

They probably will because the owner of the team is being sued by the city of Seattle, and to get them off of his back he has agreed to give them the team name and colors. Personally I do believe that they should change the name because SuperSonics pertains to the city of Seattle with the Boeing Jets and what have you, but that name would not really represent Oklahoma City.

Yes they should. Seattle has always been a great basketball town, and when they get another team (they will), they can rename them the sonics. A resident of OKC, people say it doesnt sound right being the OKlahoma City Sonics. Well I agree, BUT what people that dont live here no is that Sonic headquarters are located here. Maybe it would be fitting after all..
