    Read thisIt is a pretty interesting read. He seems like a hard worker and good all around guy. So do you guys think he will be shipping the Sonics to OKC in 2007-08?I think so. And I am not really mad because of it. Seattle didn't prove that they deserved an NBA team in the past 5 years. They finished 23rd in attendance this year, and they havnt been interested in building a new stadium.

    Yeah i listened to most of the press conference live on the radio. Its funny how he could say that his purchase of the Sonics has nothing to do with him tryhing to bring a franchise into Oklahoma

    i think he is trying to calm down the fans/media for the upcoming season by saying that he's not going anywhere. Even if that is his plan, they will have to be in seattle till after the upcoming season. I love the sonics but i think a move will do them good. Get more fan/attendance = more money and a more attractive place for free agents. I like what he is saying tho. Seattle doesn't deserve an NBA team, thier local government is greedy and wont negotiate the shocking lease and wont build a new stadium. Hello Oklahoma city sonics
