Re: More News on Sonics Lawsuit
Also, Bennett was actually quite public about discussions he was having with other cities as early as May2006. There are articles about it in the Seattle and OKC press. He continued to talk to people in Seattle about the arena as well, and there are articles supporting that fact. Where was Schultz at that time? How about when Bennett filed for arbitration? Where was Schultz? Any evidence he complained publicly or privately to Bennett or Stern? To be honest, it looks as if Ballmer said, "See if you can get the team back and I'll buy it." Schultz has had almost a year prior to now to file this lawsuit. How come he didn't want the team back four months ago? Eight months ago? Why didn't he file a lawsuit last August when Aubrey made his comment? Again, were I Bennett's lawyer, that's precisely what I would be asking Schultz. Where was your indignation then? Was it the presence of an alternate buyer that made you change your mind, rather than a belief that a good faith effort hadn't been made? I think his silence up until now speaks volumes.
