Oklahoma City Thunder, Indeed
A few weeks back, an enterprising Oklahoma City news outfit deduced the moniker for that town's new NBA team would be Thunder. And what do you know, via TrueHoop, the NBA inadvertently leaked out the team name when it released its 2008-09 schedule today. Take a look at this screenshot from OKC blog The Lost Ogle.

Wow, "Thunder" is a sucky team name, the other suggestions were much better. Really, what the hell's gonna be the mascot? A walking thunder bolt? And what's going to be at center court? A huge thunder bolt? That's pretty lame if you ask me....

Thunder is a SOUND. You're thinking of a lightning bolt.
I don't doubt they'll try to use a lightning bolt, though, which makes it even more lame.

Oklahoma City Lasers
If that's possible, then this will be the future Western Conference:
Dallas Mavericks
Denver Nuggets
Golden State Warriors
Houston Rockets
Los Angeles Clippers
Los Angeles Lakers
Memphis Grizzlies (A)
Minnesota Timberwolves
New Orleans Hornets (B)
Oklahoma City Lasers
Phoenix Suns
Portland Trail Blazers
Sacramento Kings
San Antonio Spurs
Seattle Supersonics (C)
Utah Jazz
A - In development
B - Possible move to Kansas City if low attendance after 08-09
C - If funds are sufficient to return to the NBA before 2013
