I hope not. And, if they do, I hope its not by much, but not like the ones he had right before the team left.

Seatlle kept the rights to the name colors and logo and it was such a loss to the city there's no way they don't re-use them
anyone involved in that meddling to justice”. NO COLLUSION

Too bad bucks is taken. They can go ad super bucks or star bucks assuming star bucks will sponsor that name

Realistically supersonics is better

Seattle SuperKings

Or conversely the Seattle Zombie Thunder to play off Bill Simmons nickname for the OKC Thunder. Perhaps even the Seattle #ShouldHaveDurant really capitalize on the social media boom we're in.

Move on, Stern will force Maloofs to sell to Blurke, and the good fans of Sacramento will keep their team and this wrong will be righted.

Get over yourselves, Seattle apologists.

Seattle Windows 8 - would have been interesting if Bill Gates bought the team...he'd have changed the name of the team whenever the next windows version comes out

Seattle Bills - ok...Seattle Gates if you want.

Seattle Hemlocks - hemlock is the state tree

Seattle Marmots - marmot is the state mammal (it's a giant rodent that looks like a cross between a gerbil and a beaver)

Seattle Evergreens - Seattle is called the Evergreen State

Seattle Finchs - gold finchs are the state bird

Seattle Alkis - Al-ki is the state motto (basically would translate to the 'Seattle By and Bys".

Seattle Amphibians - not really related but probably better than the rest of the crappy names so far on this silly list.

Seattle Condors - better than Pelicans right? Right?

Seattle Steelheads - steelhead trouts are the states official fish

Seattle Mastadons - yeah running dry

Seattle Dragonflys - dragonflies are the state insect

Seattle Orcas - off the coast of washington state, power, ferocity, etc.
