Can't create national buzz leaking it to Davy D and Wild Wayne.

I don't understand why in this modern age with tools like social media The Bensons didn't put this up to a fan vote. Let your fans decide-you know, the ones spending the money. Make them feel empowered and involved!

What is "this"? A yahoo rumor. The FO's reaction that "we will not confirm" makes me think it really is the name they've chosen, though.

That would make sense, but Benson is an egomaniac.

Yeah. I think they would "leak" it to a local news person if they were doing that.


Not Yahoo


I disagree. You have to be careful using your local media like that. Yahoo's rumor mill doesn't matter, though.

Possibly to get a quick reaction across the NBA to see what everyone thought of it. No better way to do that than to go to the major sources like Yahoo and ESPN. It's just a theory and I don't have anything that I'm basing it on, but it's certainly in the realm of possibility, especially since they quickly came out after everyone was able to put in their 2 cents to say that this was not the final decision.

That. And the public has proven recently they will make bad decisions. Knowing this market, we'd be stuck with Bounce

They aren't going to look like that. No pin stripes I bet.

And I'll bet that Navy and Gold are the predominate colors.

Sorry. It has been theorized that this information is due to a leak for the purposes of a trial in which fan+media+whatever reaction would be judged.

That is the `this'
