Benson said he is also trying to change the name of the NBA team to better fit the ambience, culture and charm of New Orleans.

"We need to find a name like (Jazz)," Benson said, referring to New Orleans first NBA team that relocated to Salt Lake City in 1979. "Whether we can get that or let us use that, you've got to know we're working on it. We'd like to change it tomorrow. We have not gotten that approved, but we're not letting up on it, either. Because we've got a good relationship with the commissioner and his people and we're going to be on them daily to do something."

Are you kidding??? The good news just keeps flowing in. I never thought Jazz would be realistic option.

Greatest day in Hornets history

Its not a realistic option. That's just Benson shooting the shite.

It will be a nola type name but it won't be the Jazz.

I would agree with this. I can't imagine the Jazz would sell the name.

What is worse than 0% chance? Because that is what the chances of the Hornets being named the Jazz next year. Watch out Mavericks, here come the New Orleans Shrimp

What would a name change mean for the blue and teal seats?

I know they just put in new seats in some sections, but don't they have 50m for arena renovations?

I really wouldn't be opposed to keeping the name and changing the colors. The blue is straight douche.

Disagree. Creole Blue is the only decent thing going for the team's image. I know everyone wants it, but, for frick's sake, no black and gold. We don't need half the arena wearing Saints gear.

This means next to no merchandise sales as well.

He probably won't, and shouldn't do it.
