Ballmer displayed zero optimism expansion will be offered. Said that he just doesn't think the NBA will share the revenue pie w/more teams.

In the midst of his "venting" on the phone, Ballmer did say he feels terrible for Seattle NBA fans for having their hopes dashed again.

We were just a pawn in the NBA's game.....nothing more, nothing less. We really never had a chance.

You're probably right.

Basketball sucks....only wanted a Hockey team anyways. Oh well.

I wanted a hockey team here badly. Very badly. Basketball is about on par with baseball to me, but it was obvious from the start that the Sonics were the only way to make that happen. I have been a Sonics supporter for a long time, but that was at least as much a source of my support for this move as any love for the Sonics.

And now Basketball is dead again to me.

Hansen's fatal mistake was not realizing honesty and transparency were NOT traits David Stern values in NBA franchise leadership.

Yep.

He should have bought the Kings with the understanding to stay(lied).

Then asked them to build a 100% publicly funded $600 million dollar arena(fake plan).

Which would get turned down instantly(which everyone knew would happen).

He could then move the team saying the state and city won't cooperate!! Didn't we learn anything from Bennett?

I still very much enjoy college basketball when it's either the Huskies playing or the tournament.

Off-topic. I thought you were heading south permanently. Is that still the case?

I'm not even a basketball guy, but I still wanted the Sonics back. This pisses me off. Doubly pissed off because no NHL either.

In case he doesnt get back to this thread, that was just an April fools joke he was playin on us. I believe that was Stallone's house (or somebody similar) that he told us he was moving in to.

Naw, that was a brilliantly successful April Fool's joke.

And basketball is still dead to me.

Sorry Sonic fans.

But that was just the recommendation, right? Owners themselves still have to vote? Maybe just a sliver of hope left.

Only 8 owners need to vote against it next month to kill it, and 12 just committed to it.
