bro why so ambiguous

[nightmare3983]

Weezur, you're on top of things. I just barely saw Adrian Wojnarowski's tweet about this now. I hadn't heard anything previously.

I'm excited to have a team back in Seattle but Kings fans are getting messed over. No worries though because I don't like many of them.

Will there be a division realignment coming?

[addictionary]

Thunder owners wouldn't give up their former name would they? I loved the Seattle Supersonics name. I also like Sacramento Kings. It would suck to see them move. Although I found this out:

The Seattle SuperSonics' first uniforms had "Sonics" displayed in a font that was also used by the Cincinnati Royals (now the Sacramento Kings).

Strange coincidence or am I ignorant at some point..

Will there be a division realignment coming?

I doubt it since there are already cases of teams being in divisions that don't make much sense, like the Timberwolves and Thunder being in the Northwest division. I'd love to see the Thunder go to the Southwest division, both because that makes sense geographically and because it would get them out the same division as the Jazz. But there wouldn't really be any logical candidates to move to the Pacific division.

Any Seattle-based team can use the Supersonics name. They fought to keep it. The franchise had to change its name when it moved to OKC.

Oooh, a franchise being sold would love to have a large expring contract to go with those rookie deals wouldn't they?

How 'bout they dump Thompson and Brooks on us for Milsap and Bell?

Oh cool! I hope things turn out that way somehow.

This is how I would like the Western Confrence to look:

Pacific-
Lakers
Clippers
Suns
Warriors
Spurs

Northwest-
Jazz
Trailblazers
Nuggets
Kings
Timberwolves

Southwest-
Grizzlies
Hornets/Pelicans
OKC
Rockets
Mavericks


Crazy I know. Go ahead and tell me why this doesn't work.

Here is a chilling thought:

Bill Simmons @BillSimmons about 6 minutes ago
The Maloofs couldn't afford to run an NBA franchise for YEARS. Cash-poor owners + small market = trouble.

Have any of you bought a LHM Toyota lately?

The LHM Group is diversified enough that they will be fine.
