I mean, it'd be funny if Jerry Buss relocated and renamed the D-Fenders as one last shot in the rivalry, right?

Kansas City is the next logical destination for a franchise and they already have Royals.

Memphis Kings?

In a related area, would it make sense to do a division realignment out West to address to ridiculous Northwest Division (which won't include the most Northwestern team anymore)? Something like Seattle, Portland, and the Cali teams in the Pacific; Phoenix, Utah, and the Texas teams in the Southwest; and New Orleans, Memphis, Minny, and Denver in whatever you want to call it? (Midwest Division?)

Seattle's rank in attendance;

07 - 25th
06 - 23rd
05 - 21st
04 - 23rd
03 - 20th
02 - 21st

Tough to say Seattle "deserves" a team

Move them to Baltimore.

Really sucks for Kings fans. Always been a great fan base even when their team has been a mess. Regardless of if Seattle deserves a team or not it really sucks that it's at the loss of another city.

Still better than Indiana's

Apparently now there are reports the Maloof's turned down the offer.

I wouldn't be even slightly surprised to wake up one morning and hear the Pacers are moving out of town.

The Pacers' owners just bought that new scoreboard themselves, doubt they're moving anytime soon.

That is not a good way to rank team support. See if you can find the stats for percentage of seats filled rather than number of seats filled.

Hearing the news today prompted me to log in for the first time since 2008, shortly after I lost my home team. Back then I was a mod for the Sonics forum. I was also a six year season ticket holder in Seattle.

Well I heard the Offer is still in talks and a press conference was cancelled so we will see but I do know the arena will be down in SODO, where the SODO showbox is.
