I can still remember where I was and what I was doing when the Sonics won the championship. Can't believe that is our only team short of the Seahawks(wink wink) with a major championship and now they are leaving town to some hillbilly mother ******.

Gregoire and Nichols have to go. Sad thing is is that they will probably both gets medals for this from all the tree hugging liberal mother fuckers.

12th best market in the country. OKC is #45. Tell me how the fuck that makes any sense? It's David Stern the fucking punk he is giving favors for his buddy Clay Bennett. The whole situation was built up on lies. An absolute fucking joke.

So, you think the city should have ponied up all the money to build them a new arena and then in five years watch them suck the back of an exhaust pipe like the M's?

Conventional wisdom is that the commish works for the owners and Bennett is an owner,with money.

Lesson's were learned when Al Davis wanted to move and Rossell said over my dead body.

Rossell ended up with egg all over his face an cost the NFL millions of dollars.

Stern is no better than a politician,that can be bought.

the okc move should work fine though. i think of it as a similar situation as the jazz in utah. those are some of the best fans in the league. the nba team is the only product in town, so people will go. especially since its a young team on the way up with a big name in durant.

legend i aint, why do you care that the sonics are leaving? you said you hated the sonics and the nba.

NBA's new marketing slogan:

We can be seen in 200 countries, but fuck Seattle.

Good luck getting free agents to play in that town. Much better move for the league would be to pull Charlotte out and move them to OKC. Charlotte is having problems too. Gotta feel for the Seattle fans.

How can he do that? Sportscenter said that the history stays in Seattle.

The history is staying in Seattle along with the name and team colors. The only thing Bennett the crook is doing is making replica banners to hang from the rafters. Fuck the NBA.

Even though I feel for the true Seattle fans, this franchise couldn't be coming into a better situation. OKC and the state of Oklahoma are striving, and the support they will receive from Hornet season ticket holders and the rest of the masses will be unbelievable. The new owners, Bennett( married to a Gaylord), McClendon (CHK), Ward (SD), have extremely deep pockets. They are even reaching out to Tulsa to increase the fan base. The Ford Center or whatever they end up calling it will be rocking in November. Only time will tell how long the euphoria lasts. The state of professional sports is turning into a sad situation.

Do the people of Oklahoma realize what happened here or does the Daily Oklahoman feed you guys pro Bennett crap? All those men you talked about are as crooked as they come. Makes me fucking sick.

They are all crooks for the most part. I don't understand people who pay to go to sporting events. The amount of money people spending are parking alone should be a felony.

I've answered this question from you several times. It's bad for Seattle and business. You either aren't able to read or you have a really short memory. Asked and answered several times.

I dislike the Sonics and the NBA. I'm on record with saying that.
