Default Re: More News on Sonics Lawsuit

I didn't know this-

The Associated Press
SEATTLE (AP) - About $3 million in legal fees are at stake in the Seattle trial that will determine whether the Sonics are able to buy their way out of the KeyArena lease.

The lease contains a clause that says the losing party pays for the cost of litigation. The exact amount is likely to be another item in dispute between the city and the team.

Closing arguments are scheduled Thursday in federal court in Seattle in the city's lawsuit to make the Sonics play at the KeyArena for the two years remaining on the lease.

The judge is also expected to say when she'll announce her decision. The NBA has already approved moving the franchise to Oklahoma City.
