What's new

Seattle Kings

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.
 
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?
 
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?
 
I'd rather see:

Pacific-
Lakers
Clippers
Kings/Sonics
Blazers
Warriors

Northwest- (obviously need a new designation)
Jazz
Suns
Nuggets
Timberwolves
Grizzlies


Southwest- (Texas)
Hornets/Pelicans
OKC
Rockets
Mavericks
Spurs
 
Marvin Williams is from Seattle--Would the Sonic Kings want to trade for him now?

David Locke started calling games in Seattle--would the....no they wouldn't.

I do like it but I don't think it could happen unless (or until) Senator Kohl sells his team like it was rumoured earlier this week.
 
Casino owners having cash flow problems? That's always strange. I know they are probably involved in about a million other things too, which I'm now curious enough that I'm going to go look up. Remember when they were sort of thought of as being in the same league as a Mark Cuban type "hip" owner but a family of them though? Man, that faded fast. They have basically been non-players outside of all the rumored franchise moves.
