O..."Oklahoma City is the next Memphis in 36 months. Oklahoma can not support a pro franchise LONG TERM. Those super regional banks and tangential oil players are going to be trending down. The loss of upper income jobs and corporate season support will mimic Memphis. Stern let his ego get in front of a sound business decision. There is no population influx into the state that LONG TERM allows Sacramento and Orlando to exist. Piss poor decision Stern-Go back and revisit the mandatory dree code idiot." I take offense to the idea that OKC puts Sacramento or Orlando in jeopardy. Sacramento had a team, and the strongest support of any small market team, or any team for that matter, for 10 years running, and when the team became legitmately very good and fun to watch, of any team in the league. It created an atmosphere you see in most college towns, because unlike most college towns around the US, Sacramento's "team" is the Kings. There is no real college team to root for in the area (at least not on the major college level anyway).<BR/><BR/>As far as Orlando they've had a team for nearly 20 years now. Orlando has had it's up & downs as a franchise, but they will succeed there long term because there is a market. OKC can only hope the same at this point. Whoever posted that comment has no balls.<BR/><BR/>Seattle is the 14th largest market in the US, but a city like Sacramento is the 17 or 18th largeset market in the US. It isn't much smaller. So what is the difference? More papers for one, but more regional tourism. You have cruise ships, and the only pro baseball/football team for 1000 miles in every direction in the continental US. What does Seattle have? The entire NorthWestern region at their disposal. That's why Sonics fans feel slighted. Why Oklahomans don't get that is beyond me.<BR/><BR/>I've lived in Seattle, Honolulu and Sacramento, and with the sole added exception of surfing, there isn't anything you can do in Honolulu you can't in Seattle. Seattle is a livable city with a stupid ass mayor. Unfortunately unfortunate. The timing is bad, and the NBA chose to make an example of Seattle. Or more accurately, David Stern did. He will regret this decision long term when he has to fall on his sword to allow either New Orleans or Memphis move their team here. (For the record a few fans in each city will be angry, but by and large I don't see why Hornets fans will really care. Memphis fans might be a different story. But long term who knows.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-77950215674259746552008-07-06T14:18:00.000-07:002008-07-06T14:18:00.000-07:00People who actually have the nerve to throw Timoth...People who actually have the nerve to throw Timothy McVeigh into the mix here totally deserve to get their team taken.

The biggest blame should be on Seattle's local government and the former ownership. This loss was five years in the making. I'm not going to lie, I will enjoy going to games in the Ford Center. I just wanted to say that IF YOU REALLY LOVE THE SONICS you would force your local government do everything possible to accommodate a new NBA team.

I'm from Cleveland, and I've moved back and forth between Cleveland and South Carolina, and now live in Oregon. But I still have all the newspapers following the World Series runs of 95 and 97 of the Cleveland Indians. They're still stashed away in my closet, and every now and then I like to look at them and bring up the memories of those times and what the city experienced.<BR/><BR/>I'm really very sorry and heartbroken about what happened to your team. Like I said, I'm from Cleveland, and I was a 12-year old kid when the Browns moved from Cleveland to Baltimore back in '95. That and the '94 baseball strike really killed the innocence of sports for me. Before, I looked at it as a game where the players were living and dying for the name on the name on the front of their jersey. Then I realized that it's just one damn big business and only fans care about the results on the field (well, maybe GMs and coaches too, since their jobs depend on it). But moving a team that had been in the city for close to 50 freaking years! You bring up 41 years...try 50! I've just become numb to it all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-21708659006798518172008-07-03T09:30:00.000-07:002008-07-03T09:30:00.000-07:00I have that same paper.

Not because you hate them--they're likable guys, after all--but because we want them to leave OkC at the first opportunity. We want Bennett and company to go TU.

As a basketball fan coming of age in the late 80's-90's I can vividly remember watching Kemp knife to the basket for that impossible twisting reverse slam at the garden. After that I always watched the Sonics whenever I got the chance. Those Glove to Reign alley oops, The Lister Blister, the jam where Chris Gattling even had to give it up to Reign after getting dunked on (I have never seen that reaction before or since), the sonics always had my respect. My little brother got into the act and made a Shawn Kemp paper mache statue for a junior high art project. I know it's no consolation but from cruising basketball blogs these last few weeks, it seems the consensus is that the OKC "whatever" will be the most hated team in basketball by in every fanbase except OKC. Good luck guys.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-31445855009818170792008-07-03T07:18:00.000-07:002008-07-03T07:18:00.000-07:00What the hell did Clay Bennett do wrong.

He spent more money trying to keep the team in the city than anyone had before in Seattle. Howard Shultz and Clay Bennett both thought that there would be a better shot at keeping the team in Seattle if you get an out of town owner.<BR/><BR/>The deadline passed and Seattle didn't really try to get a team. You can blame the people, the government, or the Mayor. You can't blame Clay Bennett for being a business man. <BR/><BR/>OKC was given a short term with the Hornets came(5 weeks) and filled it up every week. Then OKC's people were asked to vote to do renovations to the Ford Center and they passed it. <BR/><BR/>Seattle is a big time city, they could easily have come up with a plan and passed it if the people and the state and city government really wanted the Sonics to stay. Like it or not there's nobody to blame for Seattle but themselves. <BR/><BR/>Good luck in getting a new team, but it doesn't look too good.

Even now there are some douches there whining that they don't waaaant Seattle's team, they want the Hornets. Their media was generally classless toward New Orleans during the whole ordeal, and I have no doubt there's going to be classlessness toward Seattle and its fans. <BR/><BR/>I was rooting hard for Seattle, mostly because up until around April of this year we didn't know how much longer we'd have a team in NOLA either, and this just sucks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-51719150099595354812008-07-03T06:48:00.001-07:002008-07-03T06:48:00.001-07:00Yeah, I wholeheartedly agree with the above post.A...Yeah, I wholeheartedly agree with the above post.<BR/><BR/>As a small-market franchise in the NBA, the Oklahoma City [Insert Team Name Here] will have difficulty building a winning organization.

Due to the fact that most Washingtonians -- and, more importantly, a majority of Seattleites -- were against the use of taxpayer dollars to finance the construction of a new state-of-the-art facility, they were just doing their civic duty.<BR/><BR/>Besides, I can't believe that people think Dino Rossi would be any better than Gregoire; they're both losers. Rossi is a whore for insurance companies, while Gregoire is a whore for Native American interests. All in all, both of them swallow the jizz of corporate interests and lobbying groups; ergo, it won't matter a bit who wins the gubernatorial election this fall, as either way it'll be a loss for us.<BR/><BR/>Of course, I'm a libertarian minarchist -- rather than a cuntish conservative or a vaginized liberal -- who thinks that the public funds shouldn't be used on such unnecessary projects; hence, I'm somewhat biased here. I was nevertheless a diehard fan of the Seattle SuperSonics, though, which balances out my opinion on the matter.<BR/><BR/>Yet, apropos of that slick bastard (i.e., Schultz), someone ought to spit at his face and kicks him square in the motherfucking balls; he's a self-centered, money-grubbing sellout. Sans Schultz, I can fathom the rationale behind everyone's reasoning -- including Bennett, who's just trying to be a philathropist for his hometown -- in this whole debacle.<BR/><BR/>All right, I just had to vent a bit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
