    On my mobile so cant post link, but David Falks daughter tweeted that this was a done deal. She has since taken down the tweet. We could be playing against the Sonics next season.

    Good shit.

    As badly as a feel for the Sactown fans, Seattle deserves this, way more than Sacramento ever did.

    Now...

    Can we rename them the SuperSonics?

    My man who is the Kings TV Producer, just quit the first of the year and took a new job with the San Diego Padres. Said he wasn't going down with a sinking ship!

    My friend posted this on facebook and I told her, "Seattle doesn't deserve an NBA team." I feel strongly about this.

    Good call HCP! But did anyone really believe Virginia Beach? Virginia Beach? I think Eugene is bigger

    People have been discussing this for months now and it seemed the only logical destination.

    Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA The Maloofs are finalizing an agreement to sell the Sacramento Kings to the Hansen-Ballmer led Seattle group, sources tell Yahoo! Sports.

    Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA
    The deal will sell the Kings for approximately $500 million, with the Seattle group seeking relocation to Key Arena for the 2013-'14 season.

    Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA The Seattle group's plans, with support of the NBA, is to play two seasons in Key Arena before moving into a new Seattle arena, sources say.

    I'm actually really enjoying it! I loved the I-5 rivalry. Hopefully the new owner will actually bring in a competent GM and be relevant.

    Wait so are they going to change their name back to the Seattle Supersonics? They have a lot of positive history.

    From the stingiest owners to possibly the richest. This is huge.

    I was thinking the same thing. This could really turn things around.
