Considering the Los Angeles Lakers used to be the Minnesota Lakers, and you know what happened there, they should also change their name.
I suggest the LA BLM's.
The Boston Celtics - racist.
Golden State Warriors - racist
Sacramento Kings - vestiges of Olde English white supremacy.
Houston Rockets - the space program tried to hide the contributions of those black ladies who did the computations - racist
Utah Jazz - cultural appropriation
Detroit Pistons - the auto business discriminates against minorities
Portland Trail Blazers - they stole Indian land
Denver Nuggets - black Americans were denied access to gold claims
Change all those names.
Portland should rename themselves the "CHAZ".
Denver should rename themselves "Cop Resistors"
Boston should change their name to "The Defunders"
Utah should change their names to "The Apologizers"
