	I just loved this quote from the newspaper : "We know the longer they stay in Seattle, the better the chance they will stay" It's refreshing to see that politicians are basically the same all over the country. What a brain scientist.

	I want to thank the govenor of Washington, Mayor and civic leaders of Seattle for being so stupid. Sooner or later the Sonics will be in OKC. Be nice and let the team go this summer and maybe we will let you keep The Sonics name in Seattle. Force Bennett to lose money over the next 2 years and well.. Anything can happen. After all PBC does own tthe name.

	Move to OKC this summer and they'll only be dragged right back to Seattle. Schultz has Bennett by the short and curlies and he knows it. That's why he's pushing so hard to get out of the lease.

	Schultz!!!!!!!! since when does he have Bennet by the shorts? We have a common law system in this coutnry and I can think of no legal precedent for litigating your way into recovering a franchise. This is a smoke and mirrors lawsuit to improve PR. What if (and that's a big IF) he won the lawsuit? Do you think he would then fork back the 350 million back to Bennett to get into the same money losing situation he was so desperate to get out of before?

	Absolutely agreed that its just a PR move to save face by Schultz but it is a possibility that he wins the lawsuit. Oh yea he would easily fork over the money back to Bennett then sell off the team to the microsoft group that wants to buy the team and then look like a hero to the city. Your right on the smoke and mirrors campaign lawsuit.

	OK so it's been proven that contracts have no meaning to you okies. But to the rest of the country they are legally binding. And are you as dumb as your name implies, ozarkhick? Schultz will not be in a money losing situation. You seem to forget that there's a group in Seattle more than willing to not only buy the team, but to also fork over money to renovate the Key. You really need to pull your head out of Bennett's a$$ and stop believing the smoke and mirror lies your buddy has been telling you. Though ultimately I suppose it won't matter since David Stern seems hellbent on destroying the sport of basketball.

	ShadowNiteHawk, would you please stop with the same Bulls..t everytime you post something. It is getting really old. Why dont you say something new? Are you not smart enough to realize that it is a done deal? Good Lord, get over it. At least some of the fans from Seattle have the good sense to leave it alone. Granted, it sucks that Seattle lost their team, but your constant mindless thoughts about them staying in Seattle are getting pretty ridiculous. From now on, either talk about the team, or just shut the hell up...

	Funny OKCJohn, I was thinking the same thing but reverse.... Maybe you can shut the heck up and go back to your Sooner boards... At least most Sooners have the good since and are now not posting on SEATTLE'S board because they know they're not getting the Sonics... Do you really think your OKC native, lying, cheating no good Bennet really has the power to take the Sonics from Seattle... Everyone in the country, by the time this is over, will know what a fraud he is. And it really shows what kind of people live in OKC by the way your willing to back your good hearted leader up... I only hope I never have to go to OKC and if I do I'd better leave my wallet at home. I'd hate for you to try and take something else that dosen't belong to you.

	Good point c-hox, but don't let OKC John get you too upset. There's something clearly wrong with that guy. For some unknown reason, he thinks that because the NBA approved relocation, it's a done deal. Maybe he's too stupid to recognize the additional language which clarifies Bennett must be free of his lease before relocating takes place.....meaning, the real battle will happen in court in June. Until then, we'll continue fighting. A lot can happen in two years. I mean, that's 1/6 of the time since this interview took place: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qV4QLK0HnOc
