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.
