Only needs 23 of 30 votes to pass.

The league has been dragging its feet on the topic for far too long, but a vote would signal real momentum for it.

If everything goes according to plan, we could be looking at a final vote occurring in the Summer/Fall.

2028 would also mark the 20th anniversary of the team leaving.

One step closer to that hole in my life disappearing...

Once this wrong has been righted, I will be back here to chop it up again.

Until that day, Go Seattle SuperSonics.

Sounds interesting and somewhat definite.
Hopefully this time around it happens and the first step is already next week.

2 more teams in the NBA would be great, but I'll believe it when the vote goes through. It only takes 8 naysayers, and there are strong financial incentives not to do it.

Congrats to Cactus Jack, Clav, Det, and all long-suffering patient Sonics fans who never stopped believing their team would return. Looks like it's finally happening. The Sonics should never have left.

Congrats to all you loyal fans. I'm going to DVR the day OKC plays in Seattle should be a fun rivalry.
