So what will the name be? And other tidbits...

With the Seattle team moving to OKC, the name of the team becomes the key question in many fans' minds. Rumors are swirling of the Oklahoma City Thunder or Oklahoma City Barons taking the floor at the Ford Center. I have a feeling that if the "Thunder" sticks as the team's moniker, Oklahoma's Garth Brooks will be played at a lot at the Ford Center with "The Thunder Rolls."

** Looks like guard Earl Watson's thumb surgery went well and he'll be ready for the OKC team's regular-season debut.

** It's strange to think that the Hornets will be the visitors at the Ford Center next year. I'm sure there will be plenty of CP3 jerseys in the crowd, and it may even feel like a home game at the start for the Hornets. It'll be interesting to see the reaction. Wouldn't that be a great regular season opener?

** Heading to San Antonio shortly, so I'll try to get some Spurs fans opinions about their new neighbors to the north.
