    It's blowing up on Twitter and the reported deal is the Maloofs are selling the Kings to a Steve Balmer-Seattle based group for $500 million. The Sonics would play the first two season in Key Arena, starting this Fall and then move onto the new arena.

    Here's the link: Sacramento Kings Moving To Seattle

    Soooooo, what division would they be in ? Would we then take the team furthest south and move them to Sac's division ?

    I guessing that if it they do move Oklahoma City & Seattle will switch divisions.  Also they might change there team's name. I am also guessing the Blazers/Sonics  rivalry will be back.

    I hope they switch OKC and SEA.  Less travel.  The NW division is brutal - .576 win %.  The Pacific is at .520 win %.

    Ahhh yeah...the I5 rivalry back again.  Miss the days of Kersey v Xavier.  Good times.  Both small markets benefit.  Portland has taken a hit since Seattle lost their Sonics.

    Rumor I've heard today is that when Seattle gave up the franchise that became Thunder, part of the deal was that both the "Sonics" name as well as the team colors were to stay reserved for Seattle...

    Huge waste of cash.   We''d be better off giving that money to 2 players making the veteran''s minimum.

    Henson is solid but Sanders is a better fit for this team

    John Henson. You guys want a good shot blocker, JOHN HENSON.

    Well, I still think he won''t do great in his career. Seems weak.

    Started by Aaron Childers on 05/16/13 at 8:17 PM

    You''re right. They should dump Monta though. I was thinking maybe the Rockets could use the number 1 pick to get the lakers to do a sign and trade for D12.

    Dont see how we can get a starting defensive center. I will be very impressed if Olshey can find one

  8. Is Paul Allen more Concerned about Profits then Winning a Championship?

    Started by Tim Morrissey on 12/09/12 at 10:04 AM

    Paul Allen might sell the Blazers but the Blazers will never leave Rip City.
