Clay Bennett and his business partners, in one
fell swoop, snatched up a franchise that had been
a Seattle mainstay for four decades. They’re taking the team with them back to Oklahoma City; and along with the players, coaches, jerseys, and basketballs, there’s also this always hard-to-define “legacy” thing they threw in the deal. Well, it ...

Don't know for certain what our NBA team's
nickname will be, but I had a suggestion for
our mascot. As if Seattle wasn't mad enough, I say we box up "Squatchâ and ship him and his costume to Oklahoma City with the rest of the team gear. Squatch ...

In Oklahoma City, the wait continues. What will
be the name of the team plucked from the
grips of the Seattle Sonics fans by Clay Bennett? This is a fly around the net about the way OKC is gripped with naming fever and the anticipation of a new team.

We’ve all been there… Everyone who steps into
the realm of fantasy sports brings with them determination
and a desire to win. At the end of the day we must all remember that it is just a game. However, the most important aspect of any game is the simple fact that there must be a winner and a loser. And of course, nobody wants to be the loser.

As we've mentioned before , there is significant
evidence to believe that David Stern and Clay Bennett
are good friends (I think actually, it's a fact, if that is a provable statement). This friendship took another convenient twist with the latest news re: hijacking Seattle. How else can you explain the subsequent timeline of events : Bennett signing a settlement that agrees to return the ...

Sometimes life gives us so much unadulterated douchebaggery
that it makes your head spin. Walking into an
Abercrombie & Fitch store. Going to a picnic with oil company executives. Attending a fraternity party at Duke. Talking to anyone from Naperville, Ill. Yet one could still argue that none of the above can hold a candle to the cast of clowns responsible for the demise of the once ...

That laughter you’re hearing is the owners of
the Seattle SuperSonics. Or rather, the owners of the
team formerly known as the Seattle SuperSonics as a settlement has been reached between ownership and the City of Seattle for as much as $75 million. Here's why, as slimy as Bennett is, he comes out smelling like a rose, even after paying as much as $75 million to relocate the Sonics

Well, it appears that $75 million is the
magic number. The City of Seattle accepted a cash
payout of $75 million from the PBC to allow the Sonics to leave their home of 41 years and move to Oklahoma City. That amount may or may not be repaid by Clay Bennett, et al if the city were to receive another team in the Sonics' stead. As you would imagine, more to come.

After six days of draining testimony, the heated
trial between the Seattle Sonics owner Clay Bennett and
the City of Seattle officially ended Thursday, just hours prior to the NBA Draft. Judge Marsha Pechman announced she will issue a ruling by Wednesday of this coming week.
