What if Scenario...?

It was a total shock what that POS ownership purposely did to get out.

Just curious... is there anything in the works to try to bring a team back?

People not from the northwest haven't a clue how huge the Sonics were in popularity in Seattle back then.

I know the city of Seattle hasn't given up, and there are several grass roots organizations that keep lobbying for an expansion Sonics. They were in line to get the Kings a few years back, but Kevin Johnson pulled a lot of strings as the mayor of Sacramento and helped get a new deal for an arena. A bunch of Sonics fans showed up to a Kings game when all that was going on to show support for Sacramento... In other words; they didn't want another city's team.

But yeah... It's beyond ****** up how the Sonics leaving happened. The NBA was complicit at the time too. The sad part is that younger fans really don't know about the team, and guys like Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp aren't really seen for how great they were because there is no organization to honor or celebrate them... Shawn Kemp's not even in the Hall of Fame.

But yeah... The Sonics were as popular as Seahawks and the Griffey Mariners back then. I went to a Sonics game when I was 21 or 22... It was nuts! Key Arena is a lil smaller than most arenas, and it really loud, but in top of that the in game experience was really good.
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.
