agree, Shultz has no case whatsoever.
Re: Sonics reach settlement with city of Seattle
Who cares?
I'm from NYC (with pro teams in every sport), but still. You guys had FOUR pro teams, and you still have THREE. It's not a big deal. Oklahoma City has college teams, they don't even have a PRO SOCCER team! It's called sharing...

Re: Sonics reach settlement with city of Seattle
The Thuderbirds left Seattle too. They are going to Kent. I guess Key Arena will have the Storm as the main money maker.......hahahahahaha.
Re: Sonics reach settlement with city of Seattle
I still think Seattle should have gotten a more serious look from the NHL during their expansion craze. Could have had a nice rivalry with the Canucks, nice arena already in place, a fanbase that is already robust enough to support three other pro sports franchises, good economy. Sure would have made more sense than Columbus, Nashville or Atlanta.
Re: Sonics reach settlement with city of Seattle
Good news is, we will all be laughing at the Sonics (or whatever they're going to be named) when they don't make money in OKC, I mean, come on, OKLAHOMA CITY?! The only reason people know of the place is because of the bombing...
I would've given Los Angeles another team before sending one to Oklahoma City...
Re: Sonics reach settlement with city of Seattle
It would be freakin' hilarious if the Sonics moved to Tokyo just to piss off all the teams who had to travel there...

With David Stern as commissioner, that could happen. What would be more hilarious is if they moved to a communist country like North Korea or Cuba.
Re: Sonics reach settlement with city of Seattle
Oklahoma is awesome, stop ripping it! And who cares about basketball! I would rather watch soccer than basketball(just not MLS:)) I would rather watch Chess than basketball, ok I would not rather watch desperte housewives... :). The Celtics are ok, but I have never liked basketball. Not even playing it.

Actually, it's one of the 30 biggest cities in thew entire country...30 team league puts a team in the 29th biggest city...not exactly senseless. Heck, taking in to account the surrounding metro area, it blows Portland out of the water.

No Portland's metro has about 2.1 million while OKC's is 1.2 million.
You cant just look at the city sizes, you got to look at the whole area. OKC's metro is like 45th in the nation while Seattle's is 12th in the nation. (~3 million people)
