This scenario works out much better for us than the series of inevitable appeals and injuctions delaying the move...Losing this might just be the best chance for us to be watching the Sonics in the Ford this year |
I was prepared for the Sonics to lose this case, and I'm almost sad that we were given a bit of hope. I don't really know if Stern would step in and cut a deal in Seattle. That almost seems like a bit too much to hope for. I really don't mind waiting for the team two years, though. I'd rather they were here, and I know the ownership would rather they were here, but as long as Bennett et al retain ownership of the team, I'm fine with whatever.
