[DJ Dalamar]

Won't be called Sonics they sold the name when they sold the team.

The city kept the name thats why they were renamed the Thunder

[CanuckG]

No more driving to Portland to see a game

I live in sacramento and i couldnt be happier. The maloofs and GM ran that franchise into the ground.

[hawley]

Doesn't Bennett own the rights to the name and is willing to give it to the new owners for no fee?

[UntilTheNDofTimE]

The owners agreed to leave the SuperSonics name, logo and colors in Seattle for a possible future NBA franchise;[7] however, the items would remain the property of the Oklahoma City team along with other "assets," including championship banners and trophies.[8] On September 3, 2008, the team name, logo, and colors for the Oklahoma City franchise were revealed to the public.

i'm sure the new seattle team (sacramento) will be comparable to the one they lost with durant and westbrook

[DJ Dalamar]

I thought I saw on a documentary where they got the name as well. Might just be that they got the "history."

Isiah thomas, tyreke evans, and demarcus cousins arnt assets?

[lunchbawks]

NBA should give Vancouver a fair shot, fuk Seattle

[doublej95]

NBA should give Vancouver a fair shot, fuk Seattle

they did.

[smitch124]

Finally I can watch Warrior games again. No more Kings forced down my throat!

[CanuckG]

weak canadian dollar and shitty ownership fukked Vancouver. Happy for Seattle only a 2 hr drive

[Untied]

Vancouver didn't have the market for an NBA franchise. I went to Vancouver Grizzle's games. Cavernous half empty stadium. Last game I saw was against the Kings(ironic).

[Speedy88]

So excited.....

Best week ever if we land the Kings. Seahawks playoff win and an NBA team back in Seattle all within a week. Can it get any better?

[ACoochy]

Bring back Kemp and Payton...

Those old school jerseys were phat...

[BigDofBA]

I hope Seattle gets a team back but wouldn't be ironic if after a few years of Seattle fans screaming about OKC stealing their team, they turned around and stole Sacramento's team?

Anyway, it would be interesting to see the Thunder play the Sonics in Seattle.

I hope it happens for you Speedy. It looks likes it's going to.

It is ironic, but it is part of the business. When your team gets taken, you are bitter and angry. When you have the chance to take a team, you jump at the opportunity.
