Vancouver - I was but a small child when the Grizzlies came to Vancouver, and I loved basketball. So naturally I cheered for them, right? No, of course not. I was obsessed with dinosaurs and so naturally concluded that the Toronto Raptors were way cooler. In fact I ended up hating the Grizzlies because... I guess their mascot mocked the Raptors when they played or something, I honestly don't quite remember. Anyway, I naturally interpreted this as some kind of unforgivable sin. I was still sad when they left, though, because it meant that I couldn't go see them play the Raptors anymore. And then shortly afterwards I lost interest in basketball entirely when I stopped playing it and realized that hockey is a much more fun sport to watch. In conclusion, we must correct the mistakes of the past and give Vancouver a basketball team with a cool enough name that no child shall henceforth abandon it for a cooler team from a different city. Plus wouldn't it be hilarious if the best team in the NBA didn't play in the US? Wait... Montreal - On that note, why not give Montreal a team as well? They lost the Expos, they deserve something nice. Hartford - Continuing the trend of cities that have famously lost teams in other major sports leagues, give Hartford a team. Seattle - The perfect rival for a team in Vancouver. Also I guess they lost their basketball team and are bitter about it or whatever.

Eh, I don't think anybody here cares about Memphis enough to try to spite them. Personally not a fan of abstract concept names anyway. A few name ideas: Thunderbirds after the mythological bird (this probably wouldn't be used in real life because it's used by the University of British Columbia, but it's a pretty cool name, I think). Ravens after the trickster god, also associated with the area (this was the name of a very short-lived lacrosse team here). Dragons because dragons are cool enough that my younger self may have considered them as worth supporting over the Raptors (there was apparently a minor professional basketball team here called the Dragons from 2017 to 2019 that I had never heard of until now). Thunder Dragons because that's the coolest kind of dragon, obviously. There's no connection to the city, I just think it'd be a funny over-the-top name. As for Honolulu... I dunno, the Volcanoes? Either way, we should definitely control Vancouver. I'll wait to vote until I see other name ideas.

All right, I like the Ravens logo better so I'll go for that. And Honu seems cool. But of course we should control Vancouver.
