Back a few home games Detlef Shremph while being interviewed for being 12th man flag raiser stated that there was going to be a team in Seattle for the next season. Is that right? If so :thirishdrinkers: :th2thumbs:

This just on Twitter:

AdamGaussoin4Hawks ‏@adamgaussoin
@Jack_Humphreys4 A bit of Sonics news. Rumors say a deal with the Maloofs is done.

Seattle Arena Plan ‏@ArenaSeattle
Already hearing some Maloof-Hansen rumors. We'll keep you posted once we find our their legitimacy.
Retweeted by Davis Hsu

Can't vouch for the veracity, but it's there for what it's worth. Awesome if true!

Well this has been kept pretty quiet compared to all the talk during the Arena approval process. Like everything else that goes on with the NBA I'll beleive it when I see Stern and his shit eating grin saying he has resurrected the Seattle Sonics and that Seattle is a great NBA city.

Something is brewing, and I'm not talking about my usual morning coffee dog.

Totz, they're saying nothing will be announced though until after the Seahawks playoff run though... That seems a bit off to me.

Its because nationally, the NBA cannot compete with the NFL.

Locally, someone will have a leaked scoop, but Hansen has done an excellent job of controlling this project.

If this is true, I think I might bandwagon the new Sonics/Kings.. whatever the hell the team will be called.

Nah just kidding. But I'm happy for you Seattle NBA fans. Should have NEVER lost the Sonics to begin with.

BTW if Wojo from Y! is reporting it.. consider the deal done. Dude is the Adam Schefter of NBA news.

Only the Sonics could bring me back to the NBA. Haven't watched one game since they left. That said, get 'em here and I'm all in again. That's how much it means to me.
