| sonics flying out of seattle...
Posted: 3/31/2008 3:20:54 PM | | pretty big news that clay bennet may be moving the sonics out of seattle to oklahoma city, i just wanted to get everybodys thoughts on this. would anybody miss them. does anybody care? after paying for new stadiums for the seahawks and mariners, do you think seattle can afford to pay for renovations to key arena or build a new arena. or do you think we should move on and hope for an expansion team? | |

Posted: 4/1/2008 7:24:53 PM | | hey, moving the Sonics out of Seatle right now is a terrilbe idea, they are going to be a really good team if they can get some solid people to play alongside durant (he's just crazy, lol) also it would be the worst time to move then, right when there up and comming, the only reason they want to move is cause the owner lives in Oklahoma City, I say leave them in Seatle. | |

And, is current ownership willing to work with local investors in keeping the team in Seattle? From what I've read, Bennett has his heart set on taking the franchise to OKC come hell or high water...maybe the best thing is to let the team go, but the name, history, records, and championship banner stays in the Emerald City, a la Cleveland Browns/Baltimore Ravens.
It would be sad to think about the Sonics being gone...I was a sixth-grader growing up on Whidbey Island in 1979 when the team won the NBA title; our family -transplanted Milwaukeeans- took a little extra measure of pride in the key roles played by "Downtown" Freddy Brown and John "JJ" Johnson, both Milwaukee natives...and later, when Jack Sikma was traded to the Bucks, I was by then back in Milwaukee...and I got to see my favorite player from the Sonics Championship team again...good memories... | |
