If there is any justice in this world then the Seattle Supersonics should be reborn! Shame shame on you David Stern for allowing them to leave in the first place! David Stern, you should do everything within your power to return the NBA back to Seattle! At the very least you owe us that…

Hatesycophants, when you speak about a topic you know nothing about it makes you sound ignorant. Watch the Sonicsgate documentary if you would like to know the truth!

Im in Seattle, and we had enough losing teams to support year after year. I, for one, am not going to go to any NBA game or even watch a Seattle team until they are up to par with the team we lost. We waited for a player like Durrant, and then we get him and we lose the team. I think the NBA doesn’t realize how we feel up here about their “product”. We are mad.

I was the biggest NBA fan, even flying down to LA for certain games, and now I won’t watch a game on TV. I’m into college hoops though – GO DAWGS.

Entirely possible. The Bradley Cen-err, BMO Harris Center is outdated, and the team makes no money of off it, plus Herb Kohl has tried to sell the team before, so it wouldn’t be surprising if they were sold and moved…much like what happened to the Sonics.

The Packers dominate sports here, and the Brewers get second pickings, the the UW Badgers get sloppy thirds. Doesn’t leave much for the Bucks to be honest, and I hate to say it, but I don’t think they’d be terribly missed if they left.

Finally, payback for the other team taken from Seattle, the Pilots of Major League Baseball (now the Brewers). There are only two clubs I wouldn’t feel bad about relocating to Seattle, and those would be the Thunder and Bucks.

Perhaps you don’t know how underhanded the whole situation was. Ever heard of a film called “Sonicsgate”?

They don’t deserve another team. When a team leaves a city, with very rare exception, it is because of lack of support. Your owner didn’t sneak away in the dead of night. You let him leave. Screw you.

The Hawks should move to Seattle. Atlanta is an awful bball town.

The Seattle Bucks?

Wrong, the Bucks will move if no new arena is built.

I guess Seattle and Kansas City will get two expansion teams so there will be 32 teams in the NBA.

Seattle native here – I’m not interested unless the team is the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Never should have let the team leave in the first place, Stern. You could have prevented all of this.

Stern said long ago “Get a new arena, you’ll get a team”. They may end up with an NHL team first, but Stern owes the city.They didn’t lose the Sonics due to lack of support.

The Maloofs aren’t going to SEA. Hanson wants his own team, he’s not building an arena for someone else.

It’s going to be the Kings.No other team in the NBA is in limbo as far as arena issues or ownership unable to run the team in the market they reside in.The Maloofs will eventually decide to go there or sell.The ship has sailed in Sacramento and while unfortunate that’s just how it is.
