Unless Schultz wins his suit, there is a lease with Oklahoma City beginning in 2010. Were I Bennett, I would drop this suit if the judge delays the trial, as they won't be playing in OKC this fall anyway if that happens. I would then spend all my efforts trying to buy out the lease. Because, unless the ownership of the team reverts back to Schultz, it's completely useless for Seattle to build a new arena or fix up the Key unless they're trying to get a different NBA team. So, barring a problem with the Schultz lawsuit, Seattle would be stupid not to settle out of court. They may be stupid, but Bennett could well lose this first lawsuit anyway, which would keep him in Seattle for the next two years anyway and cost him all the accrued legal fees.
