Default Sonics Will Be Here Next Year: 2008-09

My prediction is that the Supersonics will be here next year:


1. As soon as the NBA approves the move; there will be nothing to gain by keeping the Sonics to their lease.

2. Seattle will take an offer from Bennett & Company to pay off the lease and the long-term debt left on KeyArena. Probably $35 million or more...

3. David Stern has told Seattle, that if their purpose of Keeping the team there is to Bleed the owners, then, Seattle hopes of ever getting another NBA franchise will be prolonged.

Look for an early exit!

Are we prepared to "Support the Sonics" for the 2008-09 season?

I will support whatever team ends up in OKC whenever. And indefinitely, no matter what their record or any other factors.

I'm with you, Betts. I'm ready to buy in and will stick by our team through thick and thin.

As far as the silly remark about sports being "the most important thing in the world".......of course it's not but it's certainly my favorite diversion.

Yes you really should.

Do you need some help spelling the word "abandon?"

___Yes
___No
___Going to give the argument that spelling and grammar aren't important, especially when writing something

Magic didn't play for Orlando. He played for the Lakers.

There is a team in Orlando named 'Magic'. DVDFreaker was referring to that team. By trying to correct everyone else, you're showing your own ignorance.

I believe sidewalks were in the Dec. 11 bond issue. The election no one seemed to have voted in or have much knowledge of.
