Yea, I actually thought they were going to give us like the Nets or somebody.

it was a screwed up situation for the sonics. ownership made no attempt to put a good product on the court in 2007-08 and they were going to move one way or another. if i was a sonics fan i'd be more mad at howard shultz then clay bennent because shultz was the one who sold the team to clay bennent.
between having the hornets in 05-06 and these past 2 seasons okc has proven they can support a nba team and that market deserves a team, it just sucks they got a team that was in another city for 40 years rather then their own team.

But you can't deny OKC can support a team. I don't give a $%*$ what you think about OK and it being a flyover state, small market, whatever. These people out here come to games and go CRAZY! It's still more of a football state and the pop Bob Stoopz gets when they show him on the jumbo tron is louder than anything during the game, but we have proven we can support a team down here.
And given the type of person Durant is, he could be happy anywhere. I was actually just reading a hilarious article about how cheap KD is.

Kevin Durant, not unlike all those whom he’ll be playing with and against this weekend at the NBA All-Star Game in Dallas, is rich.
Filthy rich.
The 21-year-old Oklahoma City Thunder star has a salary that pays him nearly $5 million this season and a Nike deal worth about $10 million per year.
In only his third year in the NBA, Kevin Durant ranks second in the league in scoring.

Yet Durant buys his shirts at Wal-Mart, drives a conversion van so his cousins are comfortable and spent more than a month sleeping on an air mattress this past summer.

I thought about this the other day too but not in the greatest Sonic context.
How much iller would it be though if he were an NBA superstar as a Sonic? Would he have more pub than now?
I miss that franchise. When that arena was full it was electric as they come. I'm sure most of the players would've loved living in that city, too.
i see what you did there, ouch ouch ouch.

no he wouldnt, why are we talking about the sonics as if they exist?
how come there's so many empty seats every time I've seen them on TV? They can't even fill their own arena and they're the only thing in town. Can't wait for KD to bolt in a few years and leave that crap city with nothing.Originally Posted by kingkb34

Just because it is in a city that typically isn't known for basketball shouldn't be your only reason as to why they don't deserve a basketball team.
