NHL team announcement to follow.

No wonder he's been trying to saddle us with that new arena scam.
3
My only request is that the new basketball team follow the same blue and green color scheme as the Seahawks and Sounders. Green and yellow is ugly.
4
My only request is that Hanson pays all the expenses out of his pocket and doesn't tap into a single penny of Seattle's and King County's bonding capacity.

Other than that: BRING ON THE LOW PAYING STADIUM
VENDOR JOBS!!!!

Cool, I actually really like watching NBA games at key arena, the grimyness of the place is the best part. It feels like your watching a game in the 80's.
6
Though when it comes to basketball the fucks I don't give could fill any new arena Hansen might care to build, I am happy for all the local fans.
7
dark green and yellow, all the way!! Classic Sonics colors, please!

That neon-green trend of our other sports teams has GOT to go. So ugly.
8
That inflated selling price may have to do with the ease with which Hansen can move the team. "Priced to move!" has a different meaning here.

oooo...Since Seattle is the adopted American home I've never had, I might have a reason to watch/cheer for a NBA team!

And no, I have NOT heard of a team called the "Toronto" "Raptors"...sounds made up to me...

(j/k! I'll probably never want to watch basketball.)

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
11
..or maybe I'm still waiting for the Vancouver Grizzlies to come back! Go Grizz!(?)
12
Good for Hansen. The sooner he constructs the arena, the sooner we'll get an NHL franchise-relocated (the Coyotes deal fails) or an expansion one:).
13
OH
MY
GOD

Seems like the Sonics have been gone for a lot longer than 5 years.... SEEMS LIKE A DECADE AT LEAST
14
> while Hansen was always cagey when asked directly about the prospects

I see what you did there.
15
I suppose the team will be called The Sonics again, but I would prefer they remain The Kings. Let's not pretend that The Sonics, their owners and the NBA didn't bail on us.
16
Excellent!
17
@15: Kings would work well with King County, too.
18
@Paul. The Seattle Martin Luther King Jrs?
19
The Kansas City Kings will have a fine new home in Seattle.
20
@18: I think that would more correctly be the Seattle Martin Luther Kings, Jr.
21
@20: You're missing out on the additional product tie-in possibilities: Seattle Martin Luther Burger Kings, Jr.
22
@21: I think that would more correctly be the Seattle Martin Luther Burger King Whoppers Jr.
23
In other unsubstantiated rumors, I heard Pete Carroll hired a new kicker, plus a Chupacabra to fill in for Clemons at defensive end.

Please wait...
