Retired names, history, etc.

I was talking to some friends about this.

What happened to all the retired jerseys from the Sonics club, are they still at Key Arean?

I haven't checked, but I assume Thunder isn't going to be retiring Gary Payton's jersey, if ever?!

This was a real question, I originally assumed they all moved to Thunder's court. I wasn't trying to dogg the Sonics. I truly want to know what happened?

I just think the NBA should make a museum where lost teams can still survive. I just think Gary Payton deserves a retired jersey, and just know that Thunder would never do it, because they don't want anything to do with "Sonics".

As a Jazz fan, I knew of Payton's awesomeness, and even a worst enemy deserves a decent burial.

I have no idea where they are. I am sure they are in Seattle somewhere. They will never be posted in OKC though.

Any Sonics fans believe that Ray Ray will get his jersey retired for the Sonics someday if the team returns to Seattle?

Not so sure about that.
He's had good years in Seattle, but hasn't won anything(only once made it to the 2nd round of the playoffs) and didn't play all that long for the Sonics.

The next two guys having their jerseys retired are Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp and I'd even retire Detlef Schrempf's #11 instead of Allen's #34.
