Mallen, do you think Seattle not being allowed to focus the suit on specific performance helps the Sonics' case much? Does this mean they get to include the "unclean hands" argument?

I would hope this would help push Seattle towards considering a settlement. I have heard rumors, but just on this side of the case, nothing out of Seattle. The SOS guy, while somewhat off the wall at times, does seem to have close enough connections to Seattle politics that I would have expected him to mention something if those rumors were true.
