    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...

    He is kind of a diva at times. Lots of talent not nearly enough toughness.

    You never know they might have saw Damian and saw a chance to get 15 min of fame and make it all up. You just never know. But is it weird I like Dame more now? Hahaha

    You know what is good about the draft you can usually move up and down if your willing. We could have gotten Drummond and everyone here knows it. We also could have taken Harkless, or Henson at 11 or moved back a few spots. We also could have draf...

    They has a specialist come in 2008 and say flat out that Oden and Roy were going to have knee issues. If you know the knees are going to be a potential issue then as a training staff you need to work on strengthening that area, healing it and help...

    Maybe we should go for Pekovic as a restricted free agent and see what Minn will do.

    Henson will be solid down the road but his ceiling is more like Taj Gibson. He is a great role player but not elite like Sanders and Ibaka could be if people were not so willing to shoot on him.
