It seems most people want to just move on after the whole Sonics saga. For those still interested in the team, a report by KOCO-TV in Oklahoma City says an unnamed source close to the former Seattle Sonics' ownership group claims the team will be called "Thunder." KOCO checked Internet domain names and discovered okcthunderbasketball.com and okcthunderbasketball.net were reserved on July 10. Considering Oklahoma City sits right in the heart of Tornado Alley, maybe a more appropriate name would be the "Tornadoes."

Wow. That actually makes me feel better. After mucking up this entire ordeal, they proceed to pick the worst team name in the NBA. Oklahoma Thunder? Is this the NBA or the WNBA?

The Oklahoma City Slickers would have been better.

I was personally hoping for The Oklahoma City Ass-Hats
