    My guess is that Larry Ellison called up and told them to wait for his offer.

    Minny fans will be really broken up if this happens. Our "real" rivals will be back.

    It'd be nice to have a complete 1-5 (cascadia?) rivaly: Portland, Seattle, Vancouver.

    WOw just finished that SONICSGATE video. How fucking depressing! I really feel bad for the fans of Seattle. And to put even more salt in the wounds, Clay Bennett owns all the history of the Seattle Supersonics. They can't retire Kemp, X-man, Payton or other greats that made a mark in the NBA. What a fucking shame!

    Woj tweeted the Maloofs agreed to sell the team to a Seattle Group.

    This is great for the Blazers, for a number of reasons.

    Then the NBA could see if Vancouver could get a team back. The schedule would be much easier in so many ways. The NBA would schedule better and give less travel to the Blazers.

    Stern has to get the Griz out of Memphis and back to Vancouver.

    Seattle Kings.

    King County (Seattle), WA.

    That could work.

    Any team can retire any number. The Heat freakin retired Jordan's 23.

    They actually share the history with OKC, which is weird. The championship trophy, banners, retired numbers, etc. are all still in Seattle.

    If this goes thru........what do you think the reaction of the Sonics fans will be towards the Thunder when they meet for the first time in SEA? I bet they boo the fuck out of them!

    I hope that the hate is sent OKC and Bennetts way. Watched Sonicsgate last night. Now I dont know how I feel about another team being stolen. But it isnt like California doesnt have a ton of teams already. There is a real void in Seattle. It is better for the Blazers to have the Sonics back, so I guess I am for it.

    I don't know about that. I'm guessing they cheer pretty loudly for Durant and any other player that was in Seattle. When I hear Sonics fans talk about it, they always want OKC to lose, but Durant to do well.
