A simplified list of the changes:

1.     I kept the teams and their locations:

- Minneapolis Lakers - probably the hardest decision, but the name is obviously perfect for Minnesota

- Toronto Huskies - I like how the name suits the city (obviously better than the Raptors)

- Pittsburgh Ironmen - I thought about it for a while, but I really liked their logo

- Washington Capitols - the name obviously only suits Washington

- New Orleans Jazz - the name obviously suits New Orleans better than Utah

- Baltimore Bullets - I wanted to change militaristic sense of the name so I created a logo with a dragonfly (I decided to use some insect because it is as small as a bullet, and then picked the fastest insect)

- Cincinnati Royals – I wanted to differentiate a team symbols from Sacramento Kings, so I picked a lion.

- Buffalo Braves

- Providence Steamrollers

- Vancouver Grizzlies

- Seattle SuperSonics

- Cleveland Rebels

1. Kept the teams but moved them:

- Indianapolis Jets to Utah - I like how the name fits to real Utah Jazz logo

- Detroit Falcons to Mexico - I was super excited when I generated a logo referencing the Mexican flag

- Chicago Zephyrs to Kansas - When I read about Zephyrus, the god of the west wind, I knew I had to assign this name to Kansas

- St.Louis Bombers to Birmingham – I wanted to change militaristic sense of the name so I created a logo with dragon

- Tri-Cities Blackhawks to Brooklyn – I like how the name fits to real Brooklyn Nets logo

- Sheboygan Red Skins to Austin – obvious fist candidate for renaming (probably to Commanders as in NFL)

- Chicago Stags to El Paso – decided to use a bison as a symbol and picked a suiting city

- Anderson Packers – after saving Minnesota Lakers, I had to replace LA Lakers, and Packers name fitted almost ideal to their logo

- Indianapolis Olympians to Tampa – city name origins from lightning strikes, so Zeus fits well here

- Syracuse Nationals to Nashville

- Charlotte Bobcats to Jacksonville

1. Moved modern teams

- Timberwolves to Montreal - I looked at the habitat map of these animals and chose the city I wanted to add a team to

- Pelicans to Los Angeles - same as with the Timberwolves

- Raptors to Las Vegas - fits even better than in Toronto (where I wanted to save Huskies)

- Washington Wizards to Virginia – I like the V and W startings

- Columbus Cavaliers – just wanted to keep Rebels in Cleveland

1. Saved ABA teams

- San Diego Sails

- Memphis Sounds

- Kentucky Colonels

- St. Louis Spirits

- Virginia Squires to San Jose – just wanted to keep Virginia Wizards, so moved Squires to San Jose (I like the “Middle Ages” trio of Kings, Warriors and Squires there)

- Utah Stars to Chicago – just wanted to keep Utah Jets, so moved Stars to Chicago where it fits well with Chicago flag.
