SONICS..SEATTLE REACH LAST MINUTE SETTLEMENT
- Thread starter HUERO''909
- Start date
what is Paul Allen supposed to do to put a team in Seattle? The NBA does not allow an owner to have a stake in more than one team. I don't see how he owes it to Seattle either. He owns the fuckin Seahawks (and I think he own's their pro soccer team too) for God's sake, what more do people want him to do? I understand Sonics fans are pissed off and rightfully so but its not Paul's job to resolve it. If anything, Schultz owes it to the region to reestablish the Sonics (the team name and colors stay with Seattle). And Stern said there will be no division realignment. The Sonics ( or whatever they rename themselves) will still be in the NW div.
i hope after 3 years Durrant says fuck Oklahoma and signs as a free agent somewhere else. Seriously, who the fuck wants to live or play in fucking Oklahoma, its hard enough for the Seattle teams to get players to sign because of the weather here, how the fuck is Oklahoma going to get players?
god dammit I am so pissed, then again I saw it coming.

Unfortunetly, they supported the Hornest quite well.
And lets not forget that small markets thrive in the NBA for the MOST part. One only has to look at Utah, Portland and San Antonio...none of these cities has any other major sports (MLB/NFL) and they do very well. Memphis, Charlotte, and Sacramento are strugglin right now, however...even though Sac was doing well in the early 2000's.
It could really go either way down there. But somethin tells me that Clay's slimeness wont end here...he will continute to be a douche bag to his fellow Okies once that team gets there and everything seems peachy.

Yeah wtf??
I mean the city goes into trial talking all this mess "no amount of money blah blah"
Then it looks like the judge is gonna rule in their favor....
So they take a 75 mil (possibly 45 mil) buyout????????
You gotta think if they city does when the ruling, they gain some leverage as far as clay possibly unloading the team because he doesn't want to wait 2 more years.
If anything, they could have gotten more money.
Soft cock politics.
I've never felt so betrayed by politicians in my entire life. I'm voting against every single one of them every opportunity I get, including the governor, city council, everybody that had a hand in this. I'm real hesitant to make this a red blue thing, but a huge part of me wants to put the democratic party in Washington state on a permanent suspension until the NBA returns b/c almost 100% of the people who had a hand in this were democrats.
I am breaking the law down here in not having a Texas driver's license (they force you to after 30 days of living here) simply b/c I WILL vote in the state of Washington this November.
