Re: Sonics will move to OKC for 2008-09 season. Sonics name stays with Seattle
[QUOTE=kentatm]having been to both several times I can tell you OKC is nice but doesn't hold a candle to Seattle.
OKC is like if you took Forth Worth, Texas and moved it away from the Dallas Metroplex area away from everything of substance.[/QUOTE]
What is wrong with Fort Worth?

Wow, I'm marking this day in my calander. This is the first time I can ever say I strongly agreed with anything a laker fan says! :lol
Sorry, j/k.
But I do agree, these two have just opened the door for rich carpetbaggers everywhere to come in and do whatever they please.

Will this new team still play in the Northwest Division or will they get switched to another division?
Re: Sonics will move to OKC for 2008-09 season. Sonics name stays with Seattle
I would imagine that Sac. would get shifted to the NW.

nothing is wrong with Forth Worth. I have a good time whenever I go. However if you took it away from the Metroplex it would lose quite a bit of its appeal. None of the Metroplex attractions are there. They are all in Dallas, Arlington and Frisco. Its downtown really isnt that big either. Unless you were all about the stockyards, if you moved FW out to say West Texas, it would be rather dull overall.
Same for OKC. Its nice and all but there really isnt all that much to do and its in the middle of nowhere.

Did the players (Durant & co.) take sides in this issue at all? Did anyone attend the rallies or give quotes (other than generic ones that sound scripted)?

Active players cannot and are not allowed to say things that are damaged to the players, teams, and the league. Unless they want to get fined or worst, having their big fat contracts nullifed.

how sure are they that this team will actually make more money than it did in seattle... the hornets had tickets at reduced prices when they were there

publically they kept quiet; privately, it was said that most grumbled about the possible move and wanted to remain in seattle
but they know who writes their checks-- they are not dumb
it would have took an extraordinary person to go against the management
damien wilkins had some melancholy reflections in yesterdays paper:
