David Sterns comment, made the Washingtons government and citizens feel a bit uneasy and offended. Stern has talked about how the Sonics' situation is different then with the Trail Blazers and Hornets. He goes on to say that the lease that the Sonics have with the city is by far the WORST in the NBA. He even said things along the line of saying if Seattle doesn't want the NBA to be a part of its city, then so be it.. we won't ever have one again.
I agree with The Commish here, because I feel as though the state of Washington isn't doing anything at all to try and stop this State changing event from happening.
David Stern is working hard to make sure that the Sonics stay in Seattle. I support him in his quest to saving the Sonics. The governor of Washington has just recently said "I don't want, a couple of years from now, to look back with regret that we didn't do everything we could to keep the Sonics and the Storm." This bring some what of a glimmer of hope for us Sonics / NBA fans that want to keep the NBA alive here.
To make things worse.. the Sonics have the smallest arena in the NBA... let's be serious. This is a team that's been around 40+ years, and your not even going to support them by making them a new Arena?? Take some money out of my damn taxes and pay for the Sonics AND the arena..

Yeah, but so many other states are ahead of us in terms of pro sports teams, we're finally going to get a soccer team? Big whoop. I still think that the good people of Washington are too impatient to see the Sonics during a rebuilding year. I mean, with the worst start in franchise history? Im patient because my team is in another state, but I can feel the pain of Seattle when they are told their team will be taken away. I agree with your statement that Washington is getting a picture. Maybe the announcement of a soccer team is in anticipation of losing the Sonics...
I guess I cant complain because I haven't been to a Sonics game in over five years. Im doin what everyone else is doin: complaining and watching Durant walk out of the city.
haha no jokes. thats basically what we're all going to do... i guess we can sit here nd talk about it.. but theres only a hand full that are willing to do something about it... and the rest of us will just watch the outcome on the NEWS :P haha.
This is very true. I'm more of a baseball and football fan but I would like to see the Sonics stay and get a new arena.
