Sonics/Blazers
So what do you guys think of the Sonics deal? The city gets 75 million (hopefully towards the 300 million that is being spent to renovate Key Areana) and the city keeps the Sonics name and colors. I actually like the deal. We can start fresh but with our history retained. Not being from the coast here and living in Astoria for 10 years I like the Blazers and the Sonics equally. So over the next couple of years before the Sonics are back I won't mind cheering for the Blazers. But what do you all think?

Well, most of u know who my team is. But anyway, i really hate the fact that Bennett was able to buy his way out of Seattle. No matter what, the next Sonics team will not be the same, kinda like when the Browns moved and Cleveland was able to keeep the Browns name. It took awhile for me to get used to the Browns not being the original Browns Organization. I am glad that Seattle will keep the Sonics name, thats for sure. It is going to be a loooong time before we see a good sonics team. I just Schult never would have sold the team, Seattle teams can compete in any league, they just didnt fork out the money for the players. I hate to see this young Former Sonics team leave, because they have some young exciting players and Durant is going to be a Gem in this league.
The Blazers on the other hand will be a team to watch out for in the next couple of years. I guess the NW will only have one team to root for over the enxt few years, this is a SAD day for Seattle

The real sad part is that there is no guarantee that Seattle will get another team. I still doubt they will renovate the Key Arena or get the $$$ to build a new arena. David Stern will still be reluctant to add another NBA team since the current 30 team league fits just right... Sad, sad time for Sonics fans...
