I personally don't think keeping the Ray/Rashard duo around would have meant a whole lot of difference in keeping the team, and it would have merely prolonged the mediocrity of the franchise on the court. Sure, it's slimy, but it's also the right move, and if the team does stay we'll all be thankful that this year's squad was so craptacular.Zachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06825086499064577652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-15987223363910463602008-01-09T09:10:00.000-08:002008-01-09T09:10:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01598927545686880725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-38434346442027553142008-01-08T09:44:00.000-08:002008-01-08T09:44:00.000-08:00It's the perfect no-lose scenario for Bastard Benn...It's the perfect no-lose scenario for Bastard Bennett. It's both a deliberate tank job to kill fan support while also accomplishing the task of amassing a plethora of top ranked young talent by the time he rolls into OK City in less than three years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-15350132774198091722008-01-08T07:45:00.000-08:002008-01-08T07:45:00.000-08:00If we had local owners, I would be a lot more unde...If we had local owners, I would be a lot more understanding of the "lose to win" mentality. When you've got a scum-bag like Bennett with his moving vans backed up to Key Arena, it looks like a deliberate tank-job to dampen support for the team, thus easing the impact of him stealing the team.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07413382016761430333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-56314048105632742502008-01-08T01:03:00.000-08:002008-01-08T01:03:00.000-08:00Great show man hahaha,maybe we all should fly to J...Great show man hahaha,<BR/>maybe we all should fly to Jupiter,<BR/>they probably ball harder:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-18496786816287746452008-01-07T21:49:00.000-08:002008-01-07T21:49:00.000-08:00Paul, here's what I don't understand...did you rea...Paul, here's what I don't understand...did you really expect this year's team to be any good? Setting aside what the motivation for breaking the team apart was, it happened. Wins this year are only useful as teaching tools, because otherwise the best possible thing for the long-term future of the franchise is to get another high draft pick so we can add a legit PG or big man in the 08 draft.Zachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06825086499064577652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-9911395978817898422008-01-07T10:49:00.000-08:002008-01-07T10:49:00.000-08:00That's a good suggestion #12.

For the sake of my fellow Sonics fans, though, I promise I will try to dig something out of the Comedy Vault.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07413382016761430333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-3135455719223594232008-01-07T10:24:00.000-08:002008-01-07T10:24:00.000-08:00If blogging about the game to game performances be...If blogging about the game to game performances becomes too painful, how about just giving us a "Sonics Suck Joke of the Day"?
