I bet that is why Oklahoma City has not officially announced their new uniform and team name. My gut feeling tells me that they are going to have to step in and reverse this thing and the Sonics will be playing in Seattle this year. The NBA just seems way too defensive and nervous.
I'd say you're 110% wrong on this, but I would love that type of outcome.
I do agree with you that the NBA is nervous about what kind of info leaks out in the public during the case though. I'm not trying to be Debbie Downer, but this Sonics team is gone. I think the best we can do is if we are awarded an expansion team (which also is very unlikely) or Stern does some more backroom dealings to get us a team that's in a terrible market right now (Memphis, New Orleans, etc).
