Beachin’ news for South Bay hoop fans.

I like the would-be team monikers others have suggested.

With due credit to UCSC Athletics, I’ll chime in with the Santa Cruz Super Slugs…?

Lookout for what you wish. Remember the UC team is called the Banana Slugs.

Put me down for season tickets. Absolutely!

Team naming by the locals is a great idea.

How about tie-dyed uniforms / sweats?!

How about the Santa Cruz MaryJanes or Santa Cruz Tokes?

I’m serious… season tickets, baby!

It looks to me like maybe Kirk Lacob didn’t like those Bismark winters. I also would think Bismark is a little boring to boot, had to be torture for players in off hours. I do think this is a great idea, but we need immediate name change. Get that hideous Wizards name off franchise. If you have a contest by Santa Cruz residents to name team, that would maybe bond the team to community. I actually think this community will embrace minor league b-ball, SC is an offbeat place, I recall them being a little nutty for b-ball in Santa Cruz. pete Newell’s kid used to be a coach at one of the high schools, they turned out pretty good players.

If I understand the setup. 1) Cost $2.5mil 2)Dubs only guarantee $1.25mil 3) If all goes as planned (ha) Dubs will pay all $2.5mil from 5 years’ revenue. 4) At the end of 5 years they can go wherever they can get the best deal.****Sounds like a deal written by the Maloofs.**

[...] Warriors originally wanted to place the team in San Jose, as Marcus Thompson points out, but Santa Cruz actually fits the bill for a D-League team better. The markets for the NBA minor [...]

as an SC local and avid Dub fan, I couldn’t be more stoked with this possible transaction.

“There is nothing else to do in Santa Cruz during winter months.” Having just graduated from UCSC, ain’t that the truth…..A-Mark

Ha! Get a life. There’s plenty to do in Santa Cruz if you get yourself outside, EVEN IN THE WINTER MONTHS!! May I suggest you stay in San Jose instead of cluttering the streets of SC with your academic doldrums.

D-League play would only be a bonus, and a good one at that, for those that know how to use the splendors of the winter months in Santa Cruz.
