| Surprise! Sonics leaving Seattle ESPN - Sonics saga sends out a bad message - NBA Sucks for the Seattle fans. I really think though that this could've been avoided, Howard Schultz should've had the common sense to figure that two guys that live in Oklahoma City would want to move the team to Oklahoma City once they gained ownership. The real losers in all this are the Seattle fans though, they've supported the team for 40 years and now the team is just going to up and leave Seattle. If that ever happened to a team in Washington I would be pissed. We aren't the most loyal bunch (read: support for the Wizards/Capitals when we were consistently fielding shitty teams) but if one just upped and moved and ignored all the grief from the fans in the process I wouldn't be happy. |

But I do know what you're saying. I hate the fact that a new guy could buy any of the teams I love, which is basically all of the DC teams because I'm a big time homer like that, and move them to the middle of bumf**k just for the hell of it. How the hell is Oklahoma City a better place for an NBA team than Seattle? Just because they supported the Hornets for like a half of a season doesn't lead me to believe that they will be a top market.

| Re: Surprise! Sonics leaving Seattle So will they take the colors and name with them? I hope not...the Oklahoma City Supersonics sounds stupid. I'm sure in about 5 years, there will be a new team in Seattle anyways.

| Re: Surprise! Sonics leaving Seattle New team name, new colors. Stern has said that if Seattle were to lose a team, the NBA was very, very unlikely to ever allow a team back there. But there have always been rumors that Paul Allen would move his Blazers back home to Seattle.

I am unsure of the figures, but did the Supersonics have good attendance?

| Re: Surprise! Sonics leaving Seattle I don't know the attendance numbers. This was a little over a year ago and all he said was "it would be very very unlikely we would allow a team back in Seattle if they lose the Sonics"

| Re: Surprise! Sonics leaving Seattle The Shawn Kemp and Gary Payton years were great for Seattle. They've done nothing since though, too bad for the real fans they had.
