I agree. Don't care if there is a team in OK or WA.

All of Oklahoma is currently the Mavericks market. On Fox Sports Southwest, most of the games are televised. Sonics move here, he loses a good portion of his overall market. It's money, plain and simple. The only reason Stern agreed to the move was to stick it financially to Cuban and that he seemingly had no other choice but to go along with it.

I looked into this roughly two months ago because I didn't understand why Mark cared. I found out that this was the case and found it very interesting. I can't blame Mark at all, and hope others around the league understand why he would vote against the move.

How do you think the Oklahoma people will feel about Mark voting against it? Maverick fans or not, I would think the Oklahoma fans would actually want a team that they can see live, instead of one they can't, and I can understand why they would feel that way also.

No matter what it will hurt Mark.
