    First of all, here are the answers to the teams that move:

    Brooklyn -> LA Dodgers
    Minneapolis -> LA Lakers
    Oakland -> LA Raiders
    Los Angeles -> San Diego Chargers (A LOT of people guessed Dallas here)
    New York -> San Francisco Giants
    New Orleans -> Utah Jazz

    The "Los Angeles" Rams play in Angel Stadium, which is in
    Anaheim, which is in Orange County.  (Orange County may be 
    physically close to LA county, but culturally, they're worlds
    apart)

    I got an awful lot of answers of other teams that have moved
    once, or twice, and/or changed their names.  I will try to summarize
    below (By the way, I am just reporting these.  Don't blame me if
    they are wrong) :

    Football:
    Chicago -> St. Louis Cardinals
    Dallas Texans -> Denver Broncos

    Baseball:
    Boston -> Milwaukee -> Atlanta Braves
    Philadelphia -> Kansas City -> Oakland Athletics/A's
    Seattle Pilots -> Milwaukee Brewers
    St. Louis Browns -> Baltimore Orioles
    Washington Senators (I) -> Minnesota Twins
    Washington Senators (II) -> Texas Rangers

    Basketball:
    Rochester -> Cincinatti Royals -> Kansas City Kings
    New York -> New Jersey Nets
    Philadelphia -> Golden State (Ca.) Warriors

    Hockey:
    
    Kansas City Scouts -> Colorado Rockies -> New Jersey Devils
    Kansas City Scouts -> Atlanta -> Calgary Flames
    California Seals -> Cleveland Barons -> Minnesota Northstars

    And it was also mentioned by some people that, like the Rams,
    the NY Giants also don't play in their home city.  As a matter
    of fact, not even in their home state.  They play in New Jersey.
