Seems they have come up with a final four of names: Blue Racers, Drive, Chairmen, Horsepower. They issued a statement which leads me to believe that the names were not received were well... They are horrid options. My choice all along is the Sandmen

I'd be amused if it were the CEOs.

What an impossibly vanilla team name and logo. I get the play on the Pistons logo but I don't get why the name/logo has to have anything to do with the major team they are associated with. This was a failed opportunity at creativity. I assume the jerseys will look like the Pelicans but with Red, White, and Blue.

The NBA Development League will undergo a name change next season in a multi-year corporate sponsorship deal with Gatorade.

Beginning with 2017-18, the league will be known as the NBA Gatorade League, or the G-League instead of the D-League. It marks the first time a U.S. professional sports league has named an entitlement partner.

Rob Werdann has left his position as head coach of the Grand Rapids Drive and will be replaced by assistant Ryan Krueger, the team announced Thursday.

I wonder how many tens of dollars it takes to become part-owner of the Drive.

Or, have G-League teams risen in valuation like NBA teams have?

One of the Drive players (Zeke Upshaw) just died after apparently having a heart attack during a game this weekend.

I'm surprised Gores didn't put a G-League team in Flint, maybe call it the Tropics.
