D...I think you need to direct your venom elsewhere. Due to our overwhelming laziness and apatheticness (?), we didn't uncover anything, it was the folks at sonicscentral.com. <BR/><BR/>And, in their defense, your argument sidesteps their rationale. The argument isn't that by discovering this clause they will force Bennett to stay in Seattle, it's that by discovering this clause they will shed light upon the situation, and force the Mayor of Seattle to admit that if he chooses to, he can force the Sonics to stay in Seattle.<BR/><BR/>Were this clause to remain hidden, the city could have gotten paid off and the public would have thought there were no alternatives. Now, because of Brian Robinson and his associates (too many names to list, sorry), we'll know better.P Nussbaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15496038488963469055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-87949946841687896392007-06-07T16:53:00.000-07:002007-06-07T16:53:00.000-07:00you have uncovered nothing, if the parties agree t...you have uncovered nothing, if the parties agree to terminate the lease then it does not matter!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-75496979736160209672007-06-07T16:34:00.000-07:002007-06-07T16:34:00.000-07:00wownicehopewow<BR/><BR/>nice<BR/><BR/>hopeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-87841558901604944252007-06-07T13:24:00.000-07:002007-06-07T13:24:00.000-07:00Anybody know if Presti's computer system advised t...Anybody know if Presti's computer system advised the Spurs to sign Brent Barry to a long-term deal - that pays him $5 million a year - when he was an (old) 33?

They'll be in a soundproof glass enclsure, at the least!
