The Bomb has dropped

The Sonics are heading to Oklahoma. Sonics fan suicide watch starts . . . now:

SEATTLE - The city's oldest major league franchise has been sold to a group from Oklahoma City, according to a report in the Seattle Times quoting multiple sources.

The sale is reportedly being made to an investor group led by Oklahoma businessman Clay Bennett. Bennet was instrumental in the temporary relocation of the Hornets to Oklahoma City following Hurricane Katrina. But the Hornets are scheduled to return to New Orleans following the 2006-07 season.

A news conference to announce the sale of the Seattle Supersoncis has been scheduled for 3 p.m.

Thanks to Susan for the tip. I think I need several drinks and maybe some drugs. Anyone else?

What in the Wilcox is going on?

The Wacky World of Wilcox continues today with two conflicting reports on contract negotiations with Dunktron 3000:

Sonics won't trade Wilcox! (from the Seattle P.I.)

or

Sonics to trade Wilcox . . . for Shawn Marion! (from the Tribune)

This all proves, of course, that no one knows what the hell is going on. Stay tuned!
