Who cares if we get another team? We've already amidst a rebuilding process and what's so great if we have to wait to get another NBA team say, 5 years down the road? We get to be the Charlotte Bobcats and spend 5 years trying to get to the playoffs? Wow sign me up!!!!! :roll: This as opposed to our current roster that is only a couple years away from contention and I have followed for the past 15 years.

If Schultz continues the lawsuit and we win that case does that mean the Sonics still stay in Seattle?

Nice. So nickels sold out the fans for 75 million..and it will be less, if we ever get another team.

That pisses me off so much if true.

The rumor for $75 million is upsetting...and there is no promise of an NBA team?

sad times, but we have known about this inevitability forever... some fans were just in denial.

I'll miss em.

Its all over folks. That's it. That's all she wrote. Team is gone. Bye bye Durant. It'll suck seeing him dominate in a few years.

I dunno... how soon until this forum becomes Oklahoma-City Supersonics?... and how soon do I get to talk to a fanbase about bringing in hometown hero Tony Allen without having a bunch of fans get mad at me? This just confirms what everyone else has known forever. Yes, it sucks... by why get mad at me for it? I aint responsible.

Celtic assistant coach Clifford Ray is a free agent right now... I got flamed a few months ago for suggesting the Sonics could hire him as a new coach (being that he went to Oklahoma). Maybe the new fan base will be more receptive to my ideas.

Is he the one who was one of the "undisclosed" players who said he won't play there?

I'm disappointed and frustrated. But now I'll just hope Durant hates it in Oklahoma and finds his way to the Celtics somehow when his rookie contract is up. Those people don't deserve him. :)

I believe baiting is against the forums terms of service and you can be suspended or banned for it.

And I feel what you are doing LarBrd33 is considered baiting. But I'm not a mod.

I dont know if its undisclosed but i thinks someone on here or on the times board posted a video or a audio link or a story and Durant said F*** Bennett.
