Maybe if they had won it,  the Sonics don't end up moving. But the greedy owner would have probably done it anyway. I honestly don't think cincy fans would be too devastated if the Bengals move,  if their ownership keeps continuing on their current trend for another six years. Maybe if things change soon and the Bengals become a serious championship contender,  the fans would be devastated. But if they become that good,  the city probably would do a whole lot to keep them in Cincinnati anyways and the move would not be allowed to happen.

Championship or no, it would've happened in Seattle. They were sold to a guy dead set on moving them to OKC. They'd just paid millions to renovate Key Arena. The Seahawks and Mariners' stadiums had just been built... Then this guy comes in and says he can't make money playing in that arena. He needs a new one. David Stern of course backed this guy's demand of a new arena, and basically facilitated the move... From Seattle to janky ass Oklahoma City. What makes it worse is that at that time they had Kevin Durant, AND had just drafted Russell Westbrook.
