<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'></p> <h3>NBA Forms Relocation Committee</h3> </p> The NBA has put together a committee of seven owners to look into the relocation application filed by Sonics chairman Clay Bennett, but the city of Seattle's lawsuit against the team continues to be an impediment to any fastbreak to Oklahoma.</p> </p> Micky Arison, managing general partner of the Miami Heat, is chairman of the NBA Board of Governors. He will oversee a relocation committee consisting of Jerry Buss (Los Angeles Lakers), Chris Cohan (Golden State Warriors), Lewis Katz (New Jersey Nets), Herb Simon (Indiana Pacers), Ed Snider (Philadelphia 76ers) and Peter Holt (San Antonio Spurs).</p> </p> For the Sonics to be moved to Oklahoma City by next season, the league would need a decision by the time the 2008-09 schedule is completed in early August. -- <font color="#000000">Seattle Post-Intelligencer</font></p> </div></p>
