NO! It is locked up back in Seattle with all the retired # banners. They do have the trophy though, til SEA gets a new team.

So if Seattle gets another team they get the trophy back?

You sure about that?

The Wolves don't have the banners or trophies the Minny Lakers won in Minny.

Is it a nickname issue?

Just another reason pro sports sucks.

Would they be the "old new" sonics, or the "new old" sonics?

OKC should not have any rights to anything Sonics related, and certainly not their trophies and banners. OKC is a completely new franchise: new owner, new city, new name, new colors, new everything. The fact that some of the same players went from the Sonics to the Blunder is meaningless -- players change teams all the time.

part of the agreement with the nba, iirc, was that the history of the sonics would stay in seattle, much like the browns history stayed in Cleveland when the ravens took off.

I hope Seattle gets a team back eventually.

If that happens, does Seattle get the Thunder's trophy?
