    Um, no. As someone who's lived in both and married to an Arco Arena worker, no.

    Great news for us. This adds back our natural rival AND puts another team within our region. Now kick OKC out of the NW division!

    I think it's just the opposite. Kick the Suns out and have POR, SEA, LAL, LAC and the GSW back in the "Pacific" division.

    Exactly; we don't have any legit rivalries in the NW division. We'd have two in the Pacific.

    Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA No agreement signed, but one source describes deal as "1st and goal at 1." Maloofs history of changing course late still makes many uneasy.

    I really like that idea! Then Minny, Utah, OKC, and Memphis in the NW division. SAS, HOU, PHX, DALLAS, NOLA in Southwest.

    And then rename the NW and SW conferences the Pac-10, because there's two good teams and 8 garbage teams. :ghoti:

    You're missing Denver in that first group.

    Been sayin this for years, even with the Kings in SAC. Our current alignment makes no sense whatsoever. It's a very simple switch with us and the Suns.

    With Boeing's reduced presence in Seattle, is it still fit to call them the Super Sonics? Should be something more related to MSFT maybe, or even go the MLS route with something related to their location.

    Is there royalty in Sacramento? A great history of Jazz in Utah?

    It doesn't matter; Seattle's team should be named the Sonics imho.

    They should embrace the city's culture and name them the Seattle SeaWeed. Every FA in the league would want to come to a place with no state income tax and legal mary J, right?

    So will Sacramento fans become OKC fans? Will Seattle fans now have a rivalry with OKC?

    Calling them something to do with Microsoft?

    The Seattle BlueScreenOfDeaths? Or the Seattle Crashes?

    Well, since Furness is probably going to be covering the team then you could go with the Seattle Hacks.

    I would just name them "FU OKC" and say it stands for something ridiculous.
