Ask the Lakers or the Jazz why this is, moron.

Black bears there yes, grizzlies, no. And I agree that teams changing locations with an area-specific nickname (Grizzlies, Jazz, Lakers) should've changed their names.

NBA teams that move , usually never change their names. Here are some examples.
Kansas City/ Sacramento Kings
Charlotte/ New Orleans Hornets
Minnesota/ Los Angeles Lakers
New Orleans/ Utah Jazz

It's all trying to steal from someone, whose name means something, when your's don't mean nothing.. Besides, grizzlies don't play ball anyway; neither do bulls, and all the rest.

Lakers moved from Minneapolis where there are lakes, as the Jazz migrated from the jazzy city of N'Orleans. Vancouver, CAN: bears, get it?

why is Toronto called the Raptors? why is Minnesota called the timber wolfs? why is Chicago called the bulls?
