At Tuesdays introductory press conference for new GM Masai Ujiri, MLSEs new president and CEO Tim Leiweke said the Toronto Raptors organization will give changing the teams name some consideration going forwad. Per the National Post: On potentially changing the Raptors name: Were definitely going to take a look at it. It doesnt mean were committed to it. It means its a good conversation. I saw those generic uniforms today in the paper. That wont be the uniform, by the way. I can assure you of that. I think we need to have this conversation.

I'd hate to see that name go, but what can you do? Just as long as it's not as awful as Pelicans.

Ah no.... they're about to re-brand into something that is uber-Canadian.  How about the Toronto Basketball Maple Leafs?? ;)

I don't really like when teams change their name. Takes away from the teams history down the line. I don't mind the new logo and such , but it annoys me when teams change all together. However, if they move that's a new story. I still don't like how some teams keep their names, That's how you end up with the Utah Jazz. NOLA should be the Jazz, not the f**%#* Pelicans.
