So in other words, do don't have any ideas?

My idea is to keep it the way it is. It would be stupid to have them be anything but Warriors.

Warriors isn't a geographic specific name like the Jazz, Lakers, Heat, Suns, etc..so I don't see the point in changing it. Plus there have already been enough NBA name changes recently. Sonics to Thunder now the Hornets to the Pelicans and Bobcats to the Hornets, now that's annoying.

I actually think that shuffle is long overdue.

Ok gotcha. Well, theoretically-speaking they could be named the "Bays" which of course in sports trash-talk rhymes too easily. They could be the "Wines", "Cuisines" or "Techs" to highlight local areas of innovation. They could be dubbed the "Hills" which are featured in any Bay Area city of note. Or how about the "Barbaries" to highlight SF's raunchier past?
Yeah, the Warriors sounds best to me too

How about "Liberal Commie Pinkos?". They wouldn't just visit another arena - they would Occupy it.

They'll be back to being the San Francisco Warriors if anything... I don't see what the point of changing the name of a long-lived franchise would be...

California(Golden State) has a strong and proud veterans population and military tradition.

"Warriors" seems appropriate.

With the Warriors moving to San Fran, they're now talking about a possible name change:
