"It's not money damage. It's to have the team returned. The theory of the suit is that when the team was sold, the Basketball Club of Seattle, our team here, relied on promises made by Clay Bennett and his ownership that they desired to keep the team in Seattle and intended to make a good-faith effort to accomplish that."

Go ahead and merge this with WEFFPIM's thread if you deem it necessary.

I think this might be a PR move. I doubt he expects to get the team back, and dumping a million or so on lawyers is good PR for himself and his starbucks franchise. Plus, think about how long a lawsuit of that nature could be drawn out with high priced lawyers on both side. I would imagine the other lawsuit by the city of Seattle and the Key Arena being more effective.
