OT: Sonics Gate: How Seattle Lost Its Basketball Team

Welcome to our community

Be a part of something great, join today!

Sounds like a hit to me. Pretty obvious actually.
 
The Kings have been pushing for a new downtown arena for over 10 years. Arco is a dump and out in the middle of nowhere. They should have gotten it done back when the Kings were good and the economy was in much better shape. It's hard to drum up public support to build a new arena for a 17-win team during the best economic times. Unless there is a huge economic turn around, AND the Kings start winning, they are going to be stuck in that dump for a LONG time (or until the Maloof's move the team).

Or until we force billionaires to pay for their own fucking arenas.
 
Empowered women keep Seattle Basketball Free! They should have made it a mixed used Basketball Arena/Abortion clinic. Just a total win-win.

What a fucking joke that whole situation was and still is! Very sad!
 
I think they were afraid they would lose votes from all of the May Day protesters who were out in force yesterday
 
Seattle is different now. Maybe Bill Gates will turn butch?

This is why we can never allow the Blazers to leave, we'll never get them back like it's starting to look for them with those kinds of politicians running things. We're never going to get any more sports teams here because of it as well.
 
Of all the cities in the USA without a basketball team, Seattle is the most deserving, and makes the most sense.

Is Shawn Kemp planning another comeback attempt?
