Can't wait to get my Lean1 Smoothie during the games!
Okay guys, let's chill on the personal attacks. We should know by now that not everyone will be happy with everything.
Damn, i was posting a gif and the board started telling me i had no permission to be there at all, i actually got scared
What's wrong with promoting a good diet?
This fan base is full of babies.
I am glad we finally got a sponsor regardless who it is! People need to realize that having this sponsor will help with building upgrades and a better fan experience.
Get over yourself MMEmbreno! Personally, I think the fact that we have "smooth" in the name is cool; It's a hell of a lot better than some tech or bank name!
I think its a kinda funny and clever name. Its the opposite of boring, local and not a mouthful. Anyone that complains about it is just negative I suppose.

This thread is getting more emotional than the Greg Oden signing day thread.
my only problem w/ Smoothie King is how much they charge for a large
Wonder how much they paying Benson.
This team aint wining nothing with this coach, we can make all the excuses we want. Unfortunately excuses don't win games.
Looks like the arena will have two huge Smoothie King cups at the entrance and the logo on the roof. Two Smoothie King kiosks will be inside:

Since it opened in 1999, the New Orleans Arena has been without a corporate name.
But on Thursday, it will officially become the Smoothie King Center.
After extensive negotiations that lasted for nearly a year, the Pelicans and Smoothie King agreed to a 10-year naming rights deal that includes an option for the company to renew for an additional 10 years.
``It’s gigantic,’’ Pelicans president Dennis Lauscha said Wednesday afternoon.``Aside from the branding of the team, besides the practice facility, finding a naming rights partner was key to the long-term financial viability of this franchise in this market.We put it right at the top of the list of things that needed to be accomplished.’’
Financial details of the deal were not disclosed. But the total value of the deal is believed to be estimated around $40 million.
A formal news conference is scheduled for Thursday to announce the deal.
The most recent naming rights deal in the NBA came this past August, when the Portland Trail Blazers sold the naming rights to the Rose Garden to Moda Health, a health and dental insurance company that operates in Oregon, Washington and Alaska. The facility is now called the Moda Center.
Smoothie King is headquartered in Metairie and the company has more than 650 locations in the United States and Asia.
I don't like the name but since I don't live in NO I don't care much. I just hope the logo on the court won't be too ugly.
