Music City for Nashville? Maybe the Notes?
The Jokers for a las vegas team could be nice

Las Vegas Bandits (slot machines)
Las Vegas Bullets (if you move the Wizards there--if you play Texas Hold'em, you know this name works)
Vancouver Vipers
Kentucky Colonels (former ABA team; 2K wanted it for a preset, but it didn't pass legal)
Nashville Noise (Quiet Riot does their theme song)
Jacksonville Skeeters (mosquitoes--seriously, have you BEEN to Jacksonville?)
Providence Steamrollers (1940s team; always liked that name)

Love the Steamrollers made them for 16 but for my northeast team this year I'm going with the Nashua Pride

Louisville Liberty sounds like a WNBA team....

I was excited they were one of the presets since it meant they would have commentary in the game, but I can't get behind the Louisville Liberty name.

The commentary part may force me to use one of these teams. That's a huge thing.

I'd use Kansas City & Pittsburgh's names, all the other ones are trash or far too generic
