Why Not Just Name Them the Darwinists?

The Los Angeles Lakers will be holding a fan vote to name their new D-League (minor league) affiliate. The options:

  • D-Dogs
  • D-Fenders
  • L.A. Caliente
  • L.A. Breakers
  • L.A. Next
  • L.A. Sensation
  • L.A. Buss
  • L.A. Evolution

I like the last option -- it beats the L.A. Designers. Given that they may be playing in Anaheim, maybe they should go with "Los Angeles de Anaheim". After all, that's what these guys should have done rather than the more cumbersome "Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim". Redundancy like that is only equaled by "The La Brea Tar Pits" (translated entirely into English, it reads "The The Tar Tar Pits").
