The Kings? Really the ones that held out and held out on a buy out and flipped the bird at Seattle when we tried to buy them initially or Hansen I should say, Is the NBA and Seattle City Council doing a double bird flip to Hansen and the Sonic fans here?
Yeah the Kings is the only part of this that irritates me.
That's tone deaf on Silver and the NBA's part, to think we'd embrace a pre-season game with the team the league did their best to block coming here.
Durant and the Warriors I understand, we love KD.
I say we sell out the place with everyone wearing Sonics gear, and just scream Go Sonics for 48 minutes ignoring the game entirely.
Ahh better yet start the Super and other side of the arena Sonics Cheer.
I'm very pissed but I don't want a Sonics redux if you will.Sgt. Largent":18cn75iy said:chris98251":18cn75iy said:Sgt. Largent":18cn75iy said:chris98251":18cn75iy said:They could do it in Kent or Everett or HEC ED or what used to be called Hec Ed Pavillion.

I actually do think this is going to happen.
There's a LOT of pissed off We Want our Sonics Back fans that are going to make this game their rally cry to let the league know they aren't going away until we get our team back.
Glasgow Seahawk":2e1vootf said:So yesterday Bonderman and Bruckheimer said that they also want to own an NBA team on top of NHL. Having the same owners probably helps with any scheduling issues between the two leagues and one of them is already a minority owner of the Celtics so has the connections. Given the random NBA preseason game that has just been scheduled, is it likely something is happening behind the scenes with the NBA. Expand to us and Mexico city?
I doubt they would have hinted at the NBA yesterday unless there was something. possibly happening.
Does this also kill SODO and Chris Hansens attempted completely? If so, I wonder what happens to all the SODO land...it certainly won't be going to the port unless the city make him sell it.

Apparently its really slow and they are telling people to use the ticketmaster app. Good sign that there's at least demand.

I swear they do this on purpose, so that when the nightly news and national sports media talks about it they can say "OMG SO MANY PEOPLE WERE TRYING TO GET TICKETS THE SITE CRASHED!!!"
It's good PR.

Is it the AstroTurf group “Citizens with nothing better to do”? Led by Chris Van Dyke (aka Van Dick).
Seattle Times":preg1d18 said:In a wide-ranging, 17-page letter, Seattle land-use lawyer Courtney Kaylor, representing the owners of the Expo and Astro apartment complexes, writes that a draft version of the EIS “is replete with incomplete and inconsistent statements’’ and should be “revised and republished and subject to additional public comment.’’
Kaylor argues that since KeyArena is city-owned, the EIS should treat it as a “public project” requiring the examination of alternative arena sites under state law. The failure to do that alternative-site study, she adds, means the process “is therefore inadequate on its face.’’
