And a season ticket holder to R-Star's heart.

After what went down the last couple of seasons in Seattle, I was unsure how I would respond when a team potentially would come to Seattle. I admit that I am pretty darn excited about it, but I am bummed out for the Kings fans in Sacramento.

From an article today in the Seattle Times, the plan would be for the team to play two years in Key Arena while the new arena was being built. I have no problem with that. Key Arena is a good arena for watching basketball.

G-FORCE!!!!

Man we used to rock the Seattle board during the Ray-Rashard era!

Yeah, I was seriously into the NBA and my Sonics back then. Losing my team broke my heart. It is already starting to feel like old times, posting here instead of being productive at work.

I certainly dont WANT the Pacers to leave - I was really excited about moving to Indianapolis because they had an NBA Team - I like going to games, I am thinking about catching the Knicks in town tomorrow

I can understand how you feel if I compare it to hockey. I've always had to admire basketball from afar. Still never been to an actual NBA game.

They are the greatest team of all time.

This is exactly what I was going to say. Total attendance means nothing. Arenas come in different sizes.

Tough to say Seattle "deserves" a team

Move them to Baltimore.

Baltimore couldn't even keep the Bullets.

They couldn't keep them. Why is Kansas City a logical destination? The last time they tried that experiment, the ownership group lacked so much confidence they tried to make it a "two-city" team!
