If Seattle..

got a new team this very next season, would you continue to root for OKC as your #1 team? I thought about that if I was in your guy's situation, and that was pretty tough.

Before Bennet and Aubrey finalized the hi-jacking I never thought I would follow the team anymore.
But I am a basketball jones and I hate pretty much every other team in the league. I know the Thunder are not the Sonics but at least they were the Sonics. Plus it's tough not to like Durant.
If Portland had drafted Durant I probably would be a Portland fan right now. But I have a hard time imagining that because I grew up hating the Blazers as you are well aware of. On the bright side I hate the Lakers even more.![]()
And back to the point of Seattle getting another pro team here? I don't see it for at least 15 years. If/when they do I will switch back to the Seattle team.
It will really be interesting if the Thunder can do the impossible and make it pass the Lakers. I'm curious to see if there is any local ground swell for a new team.
This would have been the Sonics last season in Seattle if the poopy owners had honored their lease. I'm glad the local politicians decided that it was best for my interests to cut a deal that corn holed the city and the history of the Sonics in Seattle. It would have really sucked to have witnessed Durant as the youngest scoring title champ.
