I like the city of Seattle (used to live northeast of there) but never liked their teams.
Return of the Sonics?

I really hope they don't create a new team.
Just move to Seattle, slap the Sonics stuff on their team, and avoid creating another franchise. The NBA is already talent thin as it is.
Give them the Kings, Hornets, Bobcats, Magic, Raptors, Rockets, Bucks, Twolves, etc. No one actually pays to watch those teams play anyway.

Where did you live? I live in Kirkland, if you know where that is. The teams here are pretty hard to get behind. I'm trying really hard with the Mariners but they seem to get worse every year and they're in year 3 of rebuilding, they should be getting better! I am starting to like the Seahawks a little just because Pete Carroll has turned the team around and made them watchable as opposed to how unwatchable they were. Thank God I have the Jazz.
I completely agree. In my mind the Kings seem to be the most likely team to move in the near future.

Ohhh how exciting!
I lived up above Woodinville in King county. I used to go to Seattle, Bothell, Bellevue and Redmond all the time. I was just up the 405 from you.

Pay no mind to Mr. Mantooth.
I don't think his mommy paid enough attention to him as a kid.

That is because she left him when he was 2 1/2.

I miss the Sonics.
I hope they bring them back. Bring back the Green and the Space Needle. Games against Kemp, The Glove, and Deaf Shrimp were always intense.
I just hope they don't create a new franchise for them. Give them the Kings. Kings are out of Sactown anyway.
But if the league creates another franchise I'm going to be pissed. We should be retracting not expanding. At least 6 franchises are worthless already.

Today at the grocery store I saw a tall, odd looking, middle aged man wearing a Gary Payton Sonics jersey.
Could be just a coincidence but I wouldn't discount it entirely.
It was the jersey style from the year they made it to the Finals, if that is of any significance.

Sadly..
That reminds me of a year or two ago when LeBron was asked about contraction. He later backtracked and said he didn't really know what contraction meant, even though his initial comments seemed to indicate that he did.

That's crazy, you used to live very close to where I live now (I used to live in Juanita Bay) - I live just off the 160th exit off of I-405.

The leasgue has firmly stated that they will not be expanding and that any team here would have to be relocated from an existing franchise. So far it looks like the Kings.
Exactly. Are any other teams seriously looking at relocating anytime soon?

No, not really. When this proposal first started a while back, the Hornets were being talked about but that's not happening anymore. I think the Bucks might be a candidate down the road.
They definitely will be in 6 years if they don't have a new arena.

Wow, 6 years? I didn't realize it was so far off. This is no sure thing, it relys on IF the city council passes and IF they can get a team. If it's not Scaramento then it might be a long while before there's a team here.

Do you think we'd have to leave Jeremy Evans unprotected?

Good. I hope so.
The league could honestly move the Kings, Bobcats, Hornets, Raptors, Bucks, Warriors, Rockets, Pistons, Hawks, Magic, Wizards, or Twolves to Seattle without anyone in their current home towns even noticing.
Literally almost half this league is a complete waste with little to zero fan support or hope of succeeding where they're currently at.
