The NBA Rapidfire Report: C-Webb Out, Dirk Out, Sonics Out, Walsh In

This week we’re covering some interesting tidbits from around the league. C-Webb is officially retiring after many would say he’s already been gone for years. The Sonics are closer than ever to moving but may not take their name with them. A possible (and looooong overdue) change in Knicks’ management and an injury takes down the reigning MVP and possibly his team’s playoff hopes. Horn me!

The Sonics appear to be leaving Seattle along with the rights to their name. What would you name the new franchise in Oklahoma City?

Andrew Kneeland: Oklahoma City Octopus. Needless to say, I don't want the Sonics to move. I was just starting to like them before word came out of the move. Now I'm bitter for no real reason.

Andrew Ungvari: The Thieves, the Heartbreakers, the Beneficiaries, the Robber Barons, or the Innocent Bystanders.

Chad Ridgeway: The Oklahoma City Oakies. It’d be like the even more redneck version of the Houston Texans.

Joe Willet: Possibly the Oklahoma City "It's About Times" since they have been trying to get a team for the last few years.  Or "The True Second Team" since they are the second team Oklahoma City wanted. 

Ptownsblazin: This is a good question. I think the Sonic name deserves to be left with the City of Seattle so coming up with a good nickname is difficult. The Cyclones or Cowboys could be two nicknames that come to mind quickly.

Reddog: Oklahoma City Cowboys, Oklahoma City Wranglers.

WildWilly: Oklahoma Mountain Boomers. Their state reptile is the Mountain Boomer. No team has gone with a reptile team logo and I think it would be cool and can get a cool logo from it. Unless you want to consider a Raptor a reptile, which is debatable.

How sad are you that Chris Webber is retiring and what will you remember most about him?

Andrew Kneeland: Not very sad, as I won't affect my life very much at all. As for a favorite memory, that "fake" timeout he called while with Michigan was priceless. They lost the Championship game to North Carolina because of him.
