We'd better not end up with "L.A. Royals of Anaheim" crap. No.

Won't happen. The team's name if the contract is solid in Anaheim, will be the Anaheim Royals or Anaheim Royals of Southern California. They can't pull an Angels.

Ironically, the reason they switched from Royals to Kings in the first place was to avoid confusion with another team in the same area they were moving to... now its come full circle. Even more ironically, if things don't work out in Anaheim, one of the places they could end up is Kansas City. Either way, I like it if for no reason other than consistency.

I mean if nothing else this'll help open things up for another bay area team, in San Jose under Larry Ellison.

Assuming the Warriors don't successfully block a move to San Jose (or that the NBA allows in the twice spurred Ellison). Frankly I think if the league wanted a team in SJ and wanted Ellison as an owner they'd already have allowed it in Oakland or New Orleans.

And thanks to a lack of originality, this is what we can expect for a logo..5380.gif

Hey...it saves them half a million.

Begging your pardon, but that is a textbook definition of pulling an Angels.

Do you think them ditching Kings has anything to do with the Los Angeles Kings hockey team? I may be reaching a bit here, but it does seem plausible right?

Its very possible, but they were orginally called the Rochester Royals...then kept the name in Cincinnati and Kansas City (where it eventuilly switched to the Kings due to their MLB team with the same name).
