Kinda' OT: Sonics

[maybeso]

If Seattle gets a team then all you Washington-based Blazers fans will be able to get Blazers games on League Pass, right? !!

 

[julius]

how ironic would it be if Seattle does end up getting the Kings, and they get the 1st pick in the draft?

scratch that, I'm totally predicting that.

WTF I am on the 53 minute mark. SO far, I just want nothing but failure for OKC Thunder. AT least until Clay Bennett loses or sells the team.

We gotta steal DeMarcus away before it's too late!

Get-r-done, Neil!

Agreed! A change of scenery (and management) is going to be good for this kid. Once he starts playing for a team that has self-respect most of his destructive tendencies will subside. I think Wes, Nic and Lillard will be able to do a good job helping him maintain focus and composure.

Yeah that did wonders for Sheed in PDX. I think we are all forgetting how "under-the-microscope" the local media is on the players. Even the leadership of Sabas, Pippen and Smith couldn't control the hot headedness of Sheed. Cousins is a far worse type of character. At least Sheed was a team type player. Cousins is selfish and only wants things for himself. You can see him yelling for the ball; even if he is going 0-10.

It worked when Sheed was moved to DET - they appreciated who he was as a person and as a player. They accepted it and by being accepted he actually cooled down - maybe not in terms of Ts, but in the way he perceived his team and how he worked with them. The problem was that POR wasn't willing to accept WHO Sheed was. And I think that our players - particularly Wes and Lillard - are far better suited to taking a hot-head under their wing than Sabas or Pippen. Neither Sabas nor Pippen was the sort of guy who was going to sit down and have a calm conversation with a guy like Sheed to try to get him to see the right path. Nor was Dunleavey. Our current personnel - players and coach - are much better suited to the "psychologist" role necessary with these sorts of guys.
And given SAC's lack of talent, I'd also want the ball if I was Cousins. But if he's playing on a team with 4 other guys who can score he'll be happier to win while still averaging 18+ PPG.

Don't have the patience to go look in what thread it was in...... BUT I TOLD YOU SUCKAS THE THE KINGS WOULD BE PLAYING IN SEATTLE NEXT SEASON! The HCP just woke up and is seeing things on the twitters that this is going to happen. I don't post everything I hear, but I snuck that one in there FAMS! Go look Nerds....

You use more technology than I can possibly fathom. Who is the nerd here?

 

[magnifier661]

Exactly. Our team isn't a Detroit and our media has already proven that we will throw a knucklehead like him under the bus. I'm glad there is no real shot at getting him. We would be extremely sorry

That's the only thing here worth remembering.

I predict Seattle attendance will be less than stultifying. Many there hate the NBA.

 

[maxiep]

I respect your opinion, but that team was STOLEN from Seattle.

What would hurt more for me if I were a Supes fan was that the team was stolen from me when it was on the brink of greatness. Kevin Durant should have kept his talents on Alki Beach.

He was a baby at Kentucky and was noted by the US Olympic team for being immature. I would not expect him to change.
