    As part of the deal, Portland will take Durant off their hands. He'll make a good addition to the sweet bench lineup we have.

    Even if they aren't, if you owned the Thunder would you make the trade? :)

    I'd sell OKC for a profit to the Maloofs, buy back the Kings, place them in OKC, and make myself a cool 7-digit profit on a team without adversely impacting my abysmal attendance (can't get any worse, right?). The Maloofs get a team good enough to keep them in the game, and I get a shitty team I can hawk to the losers in my city.

    Of course, this would only be if I were the type of person who didn't give a shit about the people in the town where the team resided...

    ...which, if I'm the current owner of OKC, I am.

    Just move them to Seattle and call them the Seattle Kings. This would be a chance to move a team, keep the name and have it actually make sense (unlike the Los Angeles Lakers, Memphis Grizzlies and Utah Jazz).

    As much as I'd like to see a team back in Seattle (or even Vancouver BC), Kansas City makes a lot of sense.

    Their new arena is freaking awesome.

    They go hand in hand.

    Both come from wins, as Blazers history has demonstrated.

    Attendance dropped when wins dropped and rose when wins rose.

    San Jose has a group trying to bring an NBA franchise to their city.

    It's only 30 min. from Golden State's arena. Like Anaheim, I don't see this happening.

    If they were to move, I hope Seattle gets 'em.
