<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>AP - The Seattle SuperSonics ' high-pressure campaign for a new taxpayer-funded arena died Saturday, with Gov. Chris Gregoire saying time had run out for a deal this year. The team's owners have threatened to move or sell the team without a new lease and significant upgrades to Key Arena, at an estimated cost of $220 million. Gregoire and top state lawmakers asked the team to keep negotiating with government officials in hopes of bringing a renovation package back to Olympia in 2007. "The message is, we want the Sonics. We want them to stay," Gregoire said. "We're just asking for a little overtime," said House Finance Committee Chairman Jim McIntire, D-Seattle.</div>Source
