say that they set up a sister city partnership in Japan who will be joint sponsors of the team. The Seattle/Fuk-u-ok SeaWeed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukuoka Also works b/c Fukuoka is just west of the Kinki province.
I am excited to be able to watch the Blazers now in Seattle a couple of times a year. The rivalry was never really that good because the teams were rarely good at the same time. But, I will love to watch that first game against the Blazers. Also, the first time the Thunder come to Key Arena could be interesting.
Seattle fans are the real victims. They suffered through Clay tanking the team intentionally before he ultimately moved them. Now they get an awful new squad and will likely get stuck with the tab for building a new arena.
Hilarious. The only thing that would be cooler is if they could some how pry Mr. Kahn away from the T-Wolves.
