The Hornets are closing in on a name for their new NBA D-League affiliate.
It's down to three.
The Charlotte Hornets are deciding between Greensboro Attack, Greensboro Buzz, and Greensboro Swarm for the name of their new NBA D-League affiliate. The NBADL filed trademarks for each of the three names last Wednesday.
The Hornets chose Greensboro from a list of seven cities — three in North Carolina, four in South Carolina — in late October. Since then, things have been relatively quiet.
Hornets president Fred Whitfield said he expects to be able to sell tickets by January, and that renovations to the existing Pavilion should be complete by Oct.
