>>the weight of deeper water will push some ocean basins lower, making the ocean slightly deeper<<

Such changes in deformation of the earth's crust take place slowly over thousands of years. And loss of the ice caps will cause isostatic rebound in the regions of Greenland and Antarctica, making the surrounding oceans shallower. Parts of North America are still rebounding slowly from the last glaciation 10,000 years ago.
