New juicy rumor: Jazz headed to Seattle

Well if this happened the all the DW haters would have a new villian. Greg Miller would need a body guard. I don' t live in Utah so if they moved to Seattle it would be fine with me simply because the Jazz would have better chance of landing free agents.
 
I spent almost 15 years living and working in Seattle, so let me address this rumor.

It's hogwash. The reason the Sonics moved to OKC is because Stern was trying to extort the city of Seattle into buying the NBA a brand new arena. This, on top of the city and the state basically buying both Safeco Field and the Seahawks Stadium. Seattle said nope, no thanks, nothing wrong with the Key Arena. We've already been shafted for two expensive stadiums for perpetually bad sports teams, so we're not funding a third. So Stern happily blessed the franchise sale to the guys in OKC. Unless someone in Seattle is magically changing his or her mind, and buying Stern a new half-billion dollar arena, the NBA is not putting another team in the Pacific Northwest any time soon.
 
"The problem with you pea brains always throwing around names like Maloof and cities like Vegas, Seattle, New Dehli, Lodon, and blah blah blah is that there are people in Utah that would buy the Jazz in a second if the Millers were selling."

Link?

Wait...you want a link for that...but not a link for this:


Take this all with a grain of salt. I'm not saying my source has any more credibility than that Jazz dancer that Trout's been hanging out with. I'm just relaying the info that I have.

My friend is friends with someone in the 100 Club. They've been in Maui the past few days (the whole 100 Club gets to go) and my friend is along on the trip with them. Got a text today that the rumors circulating throughout the 100 Club while on vacation are that the Jazz are headed to Seattle either this offseason or the next.

I'm trying to get more deets right now. But again, take this all with a grain of salt. Rich people are very gossipy.
