Seattle Supersonics
Seattle deserves a team again, the Sonics were there for 41 years so had real history but I would be loathe for Sacramento to lose their team given the passionate nature of their fans and the efforts of Mayor Kevin Johnson. But if a new arena cannot be sorted for the Kings then they look the most vulnerable team to possibly relocate.
The team was purchased from Howard Schultz in 2006 for approximately $350 million on condition that Bennett would give a good-faith effort to keep
the team in Seattle. At the time, the team was known as the Seattle SuperSonics. E-mails revealed that Bennett's group never intended to keep the
team in Seattle and planned to move the team to Oklahoma City.
I too am from Seattle, as you can see from my name, I was a die-hard sonics fan. It still sickens me to this day that our team got taken from us. What I really wish for, and this is very highly unlikely if not impossible, is that every player drafted by the Sonics who are currently on OKC's roster (Durant, Collison, Westbrook, and Ibaka) would join the Sonics if they were to get an expansion team. (again, basically impossible :(..) If we do get the Kings, I would feel really bad that we had to do the same thing to Sacramento that OKC did to us. However, I miss my Sonics! Having an NBA team here again would be AMAZING!
Anyone know when they will return to the NBA?
I hope it is very soon, I have really wanted to see them wear the green suit!
