No idea, mate. Wondered that myself. Just quoting the tweet verbatim. My guess is the intent was something along the lines of "almost a living legend HOF lock". But still! That would be awesome news.

If this is true, it's awesome news for us. I can't help but feel bad for the Sacramento fans, though. Nobody deserves an owner like the Maloofs.

RT @wojyahoonba: The $525m price is a "valuation" on the total franchise. For 65 percent, Seattle group would pay approximately $340 million

That duo almost came to the Blazers last year and it was rumored that Jackson would coach home games and Shaw would coach road games.
If i'm a Sonics fan i'd be happy about this as I think Shaw is going to be a hell of a coach. I dont think Phil Jackson will be anything special as a GM though.

My thoughts exactly!
I hope to god they don't talk to Larry Bird, that would suck major ass. He was horrible running the Pacers.

@SonicsSquatch
Squatch happy. Go back to dunking & shooting shirts out of air gun rather than working as bikini barista. When Squatch start? #seattle

Marcus Thornton, Jimmer Fredette, and Francisco Garcia go to Memphis
Rudy Gay gets shipped to the Kings/Sonics

Gone are all the great personalites, replaced by a bunch of classless punks.
No thanks. I have not watched a single NBA game since the Supes left and I never will. I will vote with my wallet. The NBA has to be accountable at some point.

You do realize that even in their last 2 years, the Sonics averaged around 16,000-15,000 fans per night. And this is in an arena that only seats about 17,000.

Why didn't any of them show up to the games, then? There were many occasions when Key Arena was anything other than packed.
Anyhow, I'm not trying to kill anyone's joy here. A lot of people are happy about the return of the basketball team, and I am happy for them.
