Return of the Sonics?

It's too early to tell. Wayne Gretzky was in Bellevue (east of Seattle) just last week, he's the owner of the Coyotes... The NHL is very interested in moving here and expansion hasn't been ruled out either. But it might happen in Bellevue. Bellevue is actually a pretty big city, it has many more and taller buildings than SLC.The NBA team is way too early to tell as well but "rumors" around here are that it might be the Kings.

Ohhh how exciting!

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 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.
 
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.

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?
