NBA's Sonics Can Leave Seattle for Oklahoma City
And where will they be in 5 years?
Under the settlement, Sonics owner Clay Bennett will pay $45 million to the city immediately, Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels said at a news conference today. He'll make another $30 million payment in 2013 if the Washington State Legislature passes funding to renovate the 46-year-old KeyArena and Seattle doesn't get another NBA franchise to replace the Sonics.
sooo, Seattle is getting $45 Mil, not $75.
Thank you Howard Schultz.
I'll cherish my memories of Nate McMillan, Xavier McDaniel, Gus Williams, Shawn Kemp, Gary Payton, Dennis Johnson, John Johnson, and many others. I really enjoyed the seasons that I had my tickets...
We'll never see the NBA here again. I hope I'm wrong, but, I doubt it. |
