Basketball is on the way back to Seattle. Looking forward to giving a shit about the NBA again.

Not there just yet. But it is looking like it. Do they change back to Sonics? That would be cool. Always loved there Uniforms...

Should be announced tomorrow. It's a done deal.

Yes, they do get the name back, but the title banners and awards, etc. stay with The Thunder.

I feel bad for the city of Sacramento. They did support the team even though they may well have the worst arena in the NBA.

From what i have read, the Maloof's bankroll was nuked during the financial crisis (due primarily to their ill-timed expansion of the Palms).

Had they kept their powder dry, the story might be different.

the prior article i read said something about 6 weeks to find a buyer to keep it in sacramento or something. i will try to find it. Banner thing makes sense. Since that actually is the same franchise.

"Sacramento mayor Kevin Johnson said last week that he had received approval from NBA commissioner David Stern to present a counteroffer to the league from buyers who would keep the team in Sacramento. Johnson had said the city is in a "six-week sprint" to put together a proposal for the NBA's Board of Governors to consider over a potential sale and relocation to Seattle."

This is what I read. The rest of the article says a done deal basically. 1 or 2 seasons in old Sonics Stadium while new one is built.

As a long time Kings fan, this is a sad day for me. Sad but expected as the Maloof's have been trying to move the team for yrs now.

There's a lot more to the story than that. The Maloof's have really fucked over the city on many levels. I will be happy to see them out of the NBA, even if it means losing my team to another city.

If only Chris Webber hadn't sprung his ankle

As a a huge NBA fan and bay area guy with family in Sac , I'm well aware of how they've been jerking the city around.

I agree they should have been out of the NBA years ago. They lost their bankroll and have been inexplicably hanging on for far too long.

We want the Vancouver Grizzlies back!

I am sorry for your loss Sicone. After going through terrible ownership and losing the Sonics. I know how you feel.

Hopefully the new owners in Seattle can do a better job this time around. Only time will tell.
