I just read the following article on Yahoo's website:
In short, Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov, the new owner of New Jersey Nets is giving consideration to renaming the NBA franchise that he purchased for about 500 million dollars. Accordingly, I am issuing a challenge to all my fellow Associated Contributors. Let's help Mikhail Prokhov provide the new name for the New Jersey Nets. Let Mikhail Prokhov know that Associated Content is alive and well. Perhaps Associated Content's new friend, Yahoo will feature this contest. If someone among us is the winner, perhaps that Contributor will find notoriety. Who knows maybe someone will invite that Contributor to attend a New Jersey Nets game.
Mikhail Prokhov has a fascinating life story. I encourage all of you to read the following articles to gain some perspective on this successful man.
Let's show how creative Associated Content Contributors are. Please use the comment section below to enter your suggestion for the potential new name for New Jersey Nets basketball franchise. Don't feel restricted to comment only once. Good luck to all that participate!

How about "The Philly Wannabees?"
Hmm not sure yet on a name. I will come back.
I dig the New Jersey Nots (2 comments down). I definitely think the "Nets" is lacking in creativity. I also like Jack's thought.
How about a weather-related name, like the Hurricanes? Or the New Jersey Storms?
New Jersey Nots
Han, the state insect for NJ is the honey bee. How about the New Jersey Honey Bees?
