Did Yall See the Headline in the Seattle Times This Morning?

[comandante]

The Seattle former Sonic majority owner, Howard Schultz who sold the team to Clay Bennett knowing full well what was going to happen, alienated the players like Shawn Kemp and Gary Payton and got rid of both guys. He also alienated the city in trying to get a new arena. That team ended up sucking and fans were pissed at the owners. The Seattle fans loved that team for 40 years and gave them a lot of love and it turned sour with a bad owner who sold the team knowing that Bennett was going to move it, and one move was trading Ray Allen for nothing. Why give money to something that is about to move. Especially since emails were leaked about Bennett trying to leave Seattle with Stern cosigning and then they tried tried to back track. It was completely fukked up, and they fukked that city over because Stern liked Bennett.

Nicely put. To add on, Howard let Wally Walker run the franchise into Bolivian with his never ending quest for the greatest center ever. Draft pick after draft pick ended up being a project center. There is no better way to smother excitement than to continuously draft project centers on a mediocre team.

jeez, that would have been intense.


if you dont know any background reasons for why things turned out the way they were in Seattle, then shut the fukk up.

So this naive nikka think he is the only one to watch that documentary on how Seattle lost the Sonics. Im sick of you bum ass nikkas shytting on my city cuz some shady ass dealings that went on that neither city could stop. Cry my a fukking river nikka. I ask again does or did any of your tax dollars go to benefit the Seattle Sonics? Were you protesting? Nope yo bum ass was posting on SOHH. you in here We in the finals nikka. stay mad

 

[Polygraph steez]

Jersey gonna feel like that in a few years, i have a feeling lol

As someone who lives in Seattle I don't want the Kings. I mean I think they could be good in the future, but I don't want to just take the team away from the city just like what happened in Seattle over bad ownership and the government screwing things up. We'd be no different taking them away from the fans. Now the Hornets I have no problem taking. They don't belong there. They don't have any business being in N.O. other then David Stern wants them there. Stern got shytted on by the people of Seattle and now he's not wanting to bring a team back over his own ego getting hurt.

As for the last few years on attendance here in Seattle. It dropped. People were pissed. People didn't want to put money into Clay Bennett's pocket knowing what he was trying to do. On top of that they put out a terrible team with the intentions of losing games. They got a couple good draft picks and built a great team. I have no problems with OKC, but I am mad at the NBA/Stern, Clay Bennett, and Starbucks.

I have no problems with the city of OKC and my dude Durant balls for them. I have no problems with the fans. My problem is with Clay Bennett.

 

[Data-Hawk]

Have you seen the OKC thunder crowd? It's a damn klan meeting

HAHA... I was watching the game the other day and was like where are all the black people!!!

 

[Rice N Beans]

Sonics were my second fav. team. Probably the only team I liked outside of the hometown Chicago teams that I cheered for.

Real messed up though. Everyone should check out that documentary though.

As for the Thunder, well, they were packed a good team and have only one losing season. If they were handed garbage I'm 100% sure they would have regretted moving any team there.

Lastly, once Seattle gets a team, they are getting their history back. It's part of the deal I believe.

I have no problems with the city of OKC and my dude Durant balls for them. I have no problems with the fans. My problem is with Clay Bennett.

We both can agree on that... Continue to do your history on the slime ass Crook.. He married into the fortune he has.. He married a GAYLORD. One of the richest families in america.

[Danie84]

at the headline

But condolences to the SuperSonic fanbase

In the 90s, Seattle had so many moments with Kemp sick dunks and GP assists.

 

[SHO-NUFF]

HAHA... I was watching games back in Seattle the other decade and was like where are all the black people!!!

There is a higher percentage of blacks in OKC than Seattle.
GO FETCH ME FACTS THAT PROVE OTHERWISE.

nikkas here, as a whole, for some reason, didnt choose to get season tickets.

at-ease all that late ass, gat damn crying.
matter of fact, it was them white people that lost you your team any fukkin way.

 

[O.iatlhawksfan]

Just washed sonicgate the guy with the bad hair style kept getting on my nerves. Thats one ugly motherfukker. And Clay Bennent deserves a lot of bad karma, unfortunately he's gotten the opposite. I hate Oklahoma city, they tried to take away the Hornets when they were at their lowest during Katrina. But at the same time fukk Seattle cuz they tried the samething this year.
