The Kansas City Kings were the Syracuse Nationals and then the Cincinnati Royals before becoming the Kansas City Royals which then became the Kansas City Royals.

And of course who can forget the L.A. Clippers when they were the Buffalo Braves before becoming the San Diego Conqestidors.

We can all forget that part. San Diego Conquistadors were an ABA team.

just another ref:

I agree with you but what were the Braves called when they moved to San Diego and before they moved to L.A. I know that they were the Clippers in San Diego, but I thought there was a name change to something else first when they moved from Buffalo to San Diego.

Apparently not.

Levin immediately renamed the club the Clippers due to San Diego's bustling harbor and seaside locale.
