is he a genuinely good guy or an evil mastermind?

Momma says he's the devil.

Honestly, what kind of response are you looking for? This is the Sonics forum, of course we're not happy with the way Stern has handled our situation.

If my post seems rude, I'm sorry---I have had a horrible cold for the past two months, which seems to be getting worse and I'm not looking forward to having to go to work today.

Guy is a snake, and is all about the NBA owners.

...really, you're not going to get too many positive responses here.

I'm trying to look at things logically and do see why Stern would be taking the stance he is now. However, the allegations that he and Clay Bennett are buddies do genuinely bother me. That's collusion and while the team is privately owned I think it shouldn't be up to Stern whether Bennett can move Sonics or not. The Sonics are an established Seattle franchise and we've already built a basketball arena. I see no logic in needing a new one since the reason attendance has dropped is that we have had a really mediocre team since GP and Reign Man left. The thing that really frustrates me is that he's behaving like the league is really the plaything of its owners and that the fans are secondary. Well, I concur, F that.

His job is to "please" and "service" the owners. He's doing his job.

Art Thiel call him "His Royal Smugness" which I think is appropriate.

Since Stern isn't a RealGM global moderator, i'm going to call him a jerk.

Stern is very good at what he does.
