	Hornets? Wizards? And the Detroit Gems were disbanded before moving to Minneapolis.

	If I am not mistaken...White Sox were St. Paul Saints (1895-99) & Sioux City Cornhuskers (1894); Twins were Washington Nationals/Senators (1901-60) & Kansas City Blues (1894-1901); Wizards were Washington Bullets (1974-97), Baltimore Bullets (1963-73) & Chicago Packers/Zephyrs (1961-63). Maybe accept Hornets as a bonus (Charlotte, and then briefly relocated to Oklahoma City because of the hurricane)? This was a fun quiz.

	You might want to include the Dallas Stars in the NHL as a bonus. The franchise was the California Golden Seals, then Cleveland Barons. The Barons then merged with the Minnesota North Stars (and the owners of the Barons became the owners of the North Stars) and eventually moved to Dallas.

	The source says that "Short distance moves from one city in a metro area to another city in the same metro area," were not included, which is probably why the Wizards were absent since Baltimore and DC are the same metro area. It's the same reason the Warriors weren't included (Philly-SF-Oakland). I've added the Hornets as a bonus. When the White Sox were in Sioux City they were a minor league team, which is why they weren't included. The same can be said of the Twins/Kansas City Blues.

	@RealityChuck, I wasn't quite sure what to do with the Stars. The Barons ownership actually split from the North Stars to become the Sharks. So technically the Sharks/Barons/Golden Seals have moved twice while the Stars/North Stars have moved once? I don't know.

	Wizards and Warriors have been added as bonus.

	no, if you're going to count new york to new jersey to brooklyn as a regular answer then the wizards need to be a real answer. newark, manhattan, and brooklyn count much more as one metro area than washington and baltimore. manhattan to newark is 16 miles, newark to brooklyn is 17 miles. washington to baltimore is 41 miles. if anything, the wizards should be a regular answer and the nets should be a bonus

	also, manhattan, brooklyn, and newark all fall under the new york metro area. dc and baltimore are considered two separate metro areas.

	@hoos1208, the Nets didn't play in Manhattan when they were first in New York. "Although the Nets moved within the New York metropolitan area, they dramatically changed their primary market within the area. When representing New York, they played in Nassau County on Long Island; their primary fanbase then shifted to New Jersey." That is why the exception was made for them.
