Seattle is about to get the Sonics back

If I were Seattle, I wouldn't want any part of that pathetic franchise.

Not sure why they couldn't turn that franchise around.

Isn't this whole thing based on the sale of the Kings? Meaning new owners.

Who actually owns these teams when the "owners" can't sell them to the highest bidder and are forced to take less money?

Cool. I hope the Sonics come back as an expansion team, but I'm glad another city's not going through what they went through.

And yeah, big ups to KJ. My co-favorite player with Reggie Miller growing up.

This is why they're called franchises, and it's depressing that a league looking out for its fans is considered remarkable.

I mean, I'm a Grizzlies fan. My hands are not bloodless, per se. But I'm happy to see the right thing being done every now and then.
