WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE WILL BE AS SUCCESSFUL LIKE WE ALWAYS HAVE, not with another retarded owner like Schultz and Bennett! THE GREEN AND GOLD OF THE EMERALD CITY WILL BE BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER!
@cheaboiMWA If Seattle got a team, they would or they would be smart to keep the name Super Sonics. And I'd support the shit out of em. And I live in Portland right now and am a "fan" of the Blazers but it don't feel right.
I'm rooting for Dallas and Portland in the western conf. playoffs from now on. THr main reason is they have the only two owners in the nba that care enough about the team they own and what it stands for. Say what you want about Cuban, he loves the game and has the balls to do whats right. Go Mavs from a lifelong diehard Sonic fan. Sad it came to this.
Dude, phuck the NBA...I never watched another game since Game 7 of the 1993 Wester Conference Finals when the suns shot 62 free throws in a single game so they could have their Barkley VS Jordon matchup. The NBA is no more legit than the WWE. I feel bad for the fans, it was a great place to see a game!!

u really liked the sonics?? they were terrible man. i would feel your pain if they were good but they sucked. u either hav 2 live n the seattle area or hav nba tv 2 even see them play. the nba is fine without the sonics. jus think if they were good none of this would of never happend
what you mean who gives two shits about OKC!!! thats why you guys never had a basketball team. you guys have nothing buit college football. and we had an arena planned out for them. just your dumbass redneck owners didn't want it. nobody likes it there.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Give it a rest. Nobody outside of Seattle gives two shits about the NBA being there. They're old news. Players know that they are in a good situation here. Fan support is top notch unlike the pathetic crap the Sonics were getting. You guys are so chicken shit for taking care of the Mariners and Seahawks and then dumping all over the Sonics. You're a bunch of fake mother fuckers and we're not, and I can promise you....the players can see the difference. Trust me, they don't miss you.
My dream and (alot of other peoples dream) is for the Sonics to come back, Get some of the old sonic players back that are currently in the NBA, then play OKC in there first game. George Karl the Coach again and then beat the living shit out of OKC BECAUSE OKC IS A JOKE!!!
GREAT IDEA!!!!!! Have Durant, Ray-Ray, Rashard, Collison, Ridnour, and also get Brandon Roy, Nate Robinson, Jamal Crawford and Q-Pon to play for the Sonics to show some Sea-Town Pride!
who gives a fuck about nick collison?? he is garbage. so wuz the whole damn team. no ray allen, no reshard lewis, and the thunder still suck so wuts the big deal?? that team will suck no matter wut city they go 2
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Who said players don't want to play in OKC? You don't know what you're talking about. We're gonna get our share of free agents, there might be a REAL trade or two at some point, and we're gonna add more young talent. Money talks, and we're gonna have plenty of money to play around with. And any player that experiences being here will understand and appreciate the level of committment and support that they get from the fans, we make market size less of a concern...San Antonio, Utah? We're next.
It seems that Barkley's speech about Seattle and Kenny Smith's speech about sports as a business mirrors that of what Mike Ditka warned in 1995 with the relocation of the Browns. See it for yourself:
fuck you,seattle has been through a lot of shit to keeping pro teams in seattle and we will get a new pro team in seattle or get your team back because da owner said am not 100% sure but he would only keep the team only in Oklahoma City for the 2008-2009 season and some other thing about key area lease litigation,but i bet will get that or win or something or like that, to get our team back,no matter what Oklahoma City could just of ask for a NBA team and not stole ours and make of pissed off!!
Exactly, thats the whole deal with the move in the first place. (I'm from Spokane and WAS a big Sonics fan) The whole reason why theyre moving other then Clay was gonna move to OKC anyway, but KeyArena doesnt have Luxury Suites. So Bennet's pissy because his cheap ass doesnt wanna pay to renovate The Key/build a new one. In my opinion, if you want the damn things so badly so you can make a few extra bucks a year, sont rely on middle class taxpayers to buy it for you.
Dude seriously, u are a f*#$)@& IDIOT! Taken for granted? We just built two new stadiums, our citizens have paid a whole freaking piss load of money for that, the key is fine! nothing is wrong with it! thats just bennett and the ownership group tryig to make an excuse to take the team. I bet that even if we had come up with a plan they still would have rejected it, freaking oklahomos.

Seattle doesn't deserve that team....this will be a lesson to those arrogant places out there to think twice before taking things for granted...if you mess around, you're gonna pay the price. They took the team for granted, and now they've lost it, whether this summer or in two years, that team is gone. And the sad thing is that this isn't the first time Seattle has had trouble keeping a sports team. They simply don't prioritize for sports "ANYMORE", and now this team is gone. OKC BABY!
Seattle needs the sonics keep them there! Move the fucking LA Clippers to OKC! I'm from Minnesota and My grandpa was telling me how pissed off everyone was when the lakers left for L.A., THERE ARE NO LAKES IN L.A. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! GO SUPERSONIC FANS! FIGHT THOSE NBA BASTARDS WITH EVERYTHING YOU HAVE!
A team in Oklahoma City is a freaking joke. Nothing against Oklahoma City but OKC is not a major market. What the hell is next a team in Memphis..um...Nevermind!!! Sonics, learn your lesson from the Memphis Grizzlies!
barkley should buy the sonics and he and mark cuban can vote against all the other mindless drones that are the owners of the nba. barkley, although most people think he is just funny, knows what is right and he would stand up for it. he is a stand up guy that is straight forward... unlike that stupid owner the sonics got now (screw clay bennett, let him go sleep with stern in new york).
AGREED. Referee betting scandals, the disaster that is the Memphis Grizzlies, declining TV ratings... if the Sonics move, the NBA is that much closer to being minor sports league.

haha you guys lost your team...who cares if they suck, but we got a team....you didn't "pony up" as according to how you guys think we speak, to build a new arena.. so HAHA
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
yeah and you lost them. not my fault you guys didn't buy them a new arena. the "loyalist" group is Seattle is lame. they didn't help anything. Its small and useless. Even the most loyal fans hardly did anything to help your team stay in Seattle. Don't get all on OKC b/c we offer what the NBA wants. We wanted to attract a team by building a new arena and with our loyal fans and great attendance. So don't blame us here in Oklahoma. Retard Every team gets better and Durant is a great cornerstone.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
"We wanted to attract a team with our loyal fans and great attendance...", first of all, half of your so called "loyal fans" have already turned on the team because they suck dick. And your "great attendance" is fading big time each home game there pal, more people go to the Wizards home games then OKC's

Leave Seattle for OKC... wow someone needs to teach this struggling league 101 in business.
The 12th largest TV market for the 45th. Smart move..... the NBA needs Seattle more than Seattle needs the NBA.
And the NBA has caused Seattle too much heartache. Many people are apathetic to it and could care less if we ever get a team back.
I'm not one of them but until we get a team I'm not putting a dime in the NBA's pocket!

He's miles behind NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell,and Goodell has only been in his position for 20 months!!!
Stern makes Bud Selig look like a saint.
Gary Bettman,ACTUALLY tries to make his game better,even though their TV revenues suck dick.
