    They would still be the Seattle Sonics.

    Do you think them drafting Oden would've saved that franchise? I don't see how it would've helped, their owner (Bennett) clearly was 90% out the door the week after he bought the team. Getting the #1 pick would've have helped much, imho. It would've just driven him to more excitement over leaving for OKC

    i think the city would have put 100% more effort knowing that they got a "once in a generation center". i mean, look what happened with Portland..similar things in Seattle would have happened.
