Sterling is downright OBSESSED with being the third-tier attraction in the Staples, and that is really quite puzzling.

Even if this area gets an expansion team within the next few years, it'll still be a medium-market ballclub that's stuck in the hinterland of professional sports. It, therefore, is highly unlikely that an upper-tier free-agent would willingly come and play here. In the mind of a professional athlete, the only positive thing about Washington is its lack of a state income tax.<BR/><BR/>I expect that Durant -- who could potentially be an unrestricted free-agent during the 2012 off-season -- will leave the Oklahoma City, which is a small-market franchise; however, he'll ultimately sign with a big-market team (e.g., New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, et al.), a team in a coveted location (e.g., Dallas, Miami, Orlando, Phoenix, et al.), or his hometown ballclub (i.e., the Washington Wizards).<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, no matter Durant's desire to maximize his earning potential through endorsements and being marketed as a worldwide commercial entity, he's a massively overrated basketball player. Durant is an inept defender and ball-hogging chucker; plus, his natural position is small forward, so he can't be a franchise cornerstone like a two-way high-post/low-post player. All in all, I guaranteed that he'll never win a championship ring as a team's primary option.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-91303970736891182052008-07-05T15:32:00.000-07:002008-07-05T15:32:00.000-07:00Stern used to be a decent commissioner, but the la...Stern used to be a decent commissioner, but the last decade has been awful.

I have lived in Oklahoma City all my life. I love this place. I have family from here long before statehood. Let me advise you authoritatively that Clay Bennett is not Oklahoma and what he has done to Seatle is wrong. <BR/><BR/>This is not the way for any city to aquire a sports team. Your community will not ever be the same no matter if you are granted the next team that is allowed to form. <BR/><BR/>Individual ownership of sports teams is what creates such trauma. Individuals should not be allowed to trade the heart and soul of communities like they were aquiring cattle. <BR/><BR/>Green Bay has the right formula. Your city should own the next franchise to locate in Seattle. The top cities in population should have a right of refusal for whatever number of franchises that might make a profit for a league - and that is many more than exist now. <BR/><BR/><BR/>I don't realy know what losing a professional team would be like. I can only imagine based on my regard for the OU Sooners. It must be quite terrible. I hope you can use those emotions to create a way to keep your next sports team home. There must be some politicians in your area who believe the needs of community should overide the greed of the owners of teams.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-79443393391873213412008-07-04T22:46:00.000-07:002008-07-04T22:46:00.000-07:00There will be a team in Seattle, and it will most ...There will be a team in Seattle, and it will most likely be the former Grizzlies. Professional sports in Tennessee, other than the Titans, have not been particularly successful. The Predators might be on the way out as well. The Grizzlies will go back to the Pacific Northwest, where they started just across the border, and then they can realign the divisions so that they make sense again (put the Grizzlies/New Sonics in the Northwest and the OKC TBDs in the Southwest--them playing in the Northwest next season will be ridiculous, but can't be avoided).<BR/><BR/>I think the best option would be to take the Clippers away from Sterling. That guy is such a loser, with his absolute obsession with being the No. 3 client in Staples when he could be top dog in the Honda Center but refuses to go there. The best thing for the league would be to get the Clippers the heck out of Staples--it's so moronic that they won't at least go to Anaheim. But I don't think Sterling would let his toy go to Ballmer or anyone else.<BR/><BR/>They won't move the Hornets because attendance went way up at the end of the season, and poaching K-Ville would look even worse than Bennett's shenanigans. They already lost the Jazz way back when, and another team won't be taken from them.<BR/><BR/>Grizzlies it is. No real history in Memphis, no devoted fan base, nobody who really cares much about them. Mark my words, Ballmer poaches the Grizzlies. With the OKC TBDs down in the area, that covers the Tennessee/Arkansas market anyway.<BR/><BR/>Expansion can't be ruled out out completely either. Vegas and KC are itching for a team, and I just can't see the Maloofs moving the Kings after all this. But for the New Sonics, I really do see the Grizzlies as the most likely quarry for Ballmer. I just don't see a whole "Save Our Grizzlies" grassroots movement happening, so it's really no comparison. Incidentally, I'm a Jazz fan who lives in Colorado and hates the Nuggets because I hate Anthony and Iverson.hansenkdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16586308598387729105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-48175973012264457272008-07-04T21:59:00.000-07:002008-07-04T21:59:00.000-07:00The Supersonics were in Seattle for 41 years.

My knowledge of UK sports is limited, but I believe I am correct in saying that the local football/soccer team rules the town, and that other sports which exist in that city are far in the distance. As a result, the city can focus all of its energy on building a huge facility for the soccer team, and not have to worry about the team picking up and leaving.<BR/><BR/>Contrast that to Seattle: We've spent more than a billion dollars on stadiums (KeyArena, the Kingdome, Safeco Field, Qwest Arena), and yet we're going to be losing one of our teams. If the Sonics were the only team in town, what happened two days would never have happened, simply because it would have been easy for the city/state to cough up the money necessary to satisfy them.<BR/><BR/>As it is, cities routinely get played off one another by the NBA, NFL, NHL and major league baseball. It's a high-stakes extortion racket, and it is disgusting, to say the least. Consider yourself lucky not to have to endure it over there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
