Disagree. It’s more important that Harden retires as a Sonic. He didn’t even get a chance to be one

I think it's important if Ray Allen became the sonics head coach.

Honestly, there's really no connection to Harden for fans. But, KD is still liked & would be huge if he came back to play here.

Ray was a fan favorite. I don't see him being a coach however.

My bad I meant owner. He wants to be apart of it one day. He can definitely buy the team with few more guys.

Sure, but it would be a "small percentage". Seattle currently has several willing buyers. David Bonderman (Billionaire) already is a minority owner of the Boston Celtics (Owns 10% of the team), he plans on selling those shares & wants to bring a team back here.

I always predicted the sonics to come back before 2020. I'm now predicting it to be somewhere in 2021 or 2022. It's coming, it wouldn't make any sense if it doesn't happen.

Do you believe owners would approve expansion during the GSW dynasty?

Yeah, I'm not buying that "Hell or High water" garbage. The Inglewood arena talks are a front. He's playing the long game here. :wink:


New Orleans and Memphis come to mind for relocation. I think it's going to happen, it's just a matter of time. I hope Vegas doesn't get a team before Seattle.

It's going to be the Clippers or expansion. That's it. One of those two.

Vegas could be in the expansion talks (along with Seattle). Assuming they add two teams.

If the Seattle Supersonics comeback before KD retires and he signs with them I wonder how much he'd need to do there to get a statue?
