All the buzz in Seattle is about an arena deal in the works. No team on their way yet, but fans up here are going crazy. Just a minor detail, that thing about a team coming here...but it'll make it more interesting to see how Sacramento handles their arena financing. While I hated the Sonics for the most part, I always like going to the Blazer/Sonics games. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2017525119_arena17m.html
I think that's more painful for fans then our pain (of drafting Oden). I'd rather have the Blazers than not have the Blazers and then get a new year 4-7 years later.
Especially if the Blazers moved say right after we drafted Oden, and then him and Roy stayed healthy, and they gave us, well, N.O., with nobody on the team at all. Boy. Thanks. Should move OKC back to Seattle, and move N.O. there.
