The problem is that a lot of the legal people from ESPN are saying that thanks to Bennett and his friends not being smart enough to know that email could be pulled at a later time that the sale and their actions were fraudulent.
With emails that say 2 days before they even bought the team that they were going to move the team to OKC, and a email from Bennett knowing that "McClendon's" comment that he got fined for might actually put them in jeporady with their good faith agreement.
"Bennett stated in an e-mail to Sonics co-owner Aubrey McClendon last Aug. 13 that the NBA was looking into issues "relative to certain documents that we signed at closing that may have been breached."
Bennett wrote that president of league and basketball operations Joel Litvin was looking into the possible breach.
Earlier that day, Bennett had written an e-mail to McClendon referring to the fallout from McClendon's comments to an Oklahoma business publication that "we didn't buy the team to keep it in Seattle, we hoped to come here."
"Yes sir we get killed on this one," Bennett wrote to McClendon. "I don't mind the
PR ugliness [pretty used to it], but I am concerned from a legal standpoint that your statement could perhaps undermine our basic premise of 'good faith best efforts.'"
The whole point of what this Munson guy from espn wrote was that Seattle has a strong suit that can prove the sale was a fraud, so much so that he thinks Seattle has a better chance of getting the team back than Bennett has of keeping it.
Its a mess, so much drama and its due to get worse, from the radio interview with Munson and other reportings even more damaging emails are going to start being released over the next couple weeks.
Which all brings me back to the same thing, which I can't get my head around, why in the hell did these morons put all this crap in email!!!!E@#)U@#!)!???
