NBA is definitely the main objective, but I am more excited about the prospect of a hockey team. Im hoping we get a press conference announcing both at once, someday...
This! I'm not into the NHL right now because Seattle doesn't have a team. But if they get one I'm "all in"!twisted_steel2":epi9gr6i said:Throwdown":epi9gr6i said:CALIHAWK1":epi9gr6i said:NHL! NHL! NHL! NHL! NHL!

Incorrect, the NBA team must be acquired to even build the SoDo Arena, we don't get an NHL team without assurance that we will have a new arena for a team.
NBA team is the major goal.

I know that, I am just saying that if it is announced the Seattle will get a hockey team, that an NBA team will shortly follow and thus allow us to get the building started.

Montemayor: “I think that the best case scenario is a year from now you will be 99% through an expansion process. And I’ve said this for two months – that the Hansen/Ballmer group is in position to become an owner of a franchise through expansion. And that has been talked about and bandied about in NBA circles for several months. And I think the clearest indication that that information’s correct is the news that the NBA is going to re-negotiate their TV Contract early – and they have an out after every year in which they can re-negotiate that. But they need that negotiation to happen in order to leverage it for the most money and expansion. I think ‘clear path’ for Seattle means that they’re going to re-negotiate that TV Deal, which would include a new franchise.
There are rumors that after Howard Lincoln and Chuck Armstrong retire we may get one!JSeahawks":1mq9c87q said:Any word on you guys getting an actual MLB team?

How about the Hansons? Then you pay tribute to the man who made it possible and to a great hockey movie as well. :sarcasm_off:
