If they do, I think they suck, they're just mad cuz they don't have any team at all, and want to steal or crappy one. But I want our crappy team to stay, I have faith that they will make a comeback really soon, I am no big sports girl and hardly know nothing about nothing but I know that they will always have a place in my heart because that was the only way I got to bond with my daddy :( I would hate to see them go!

Ahhh! Alisha!
I'm a Sonics nut (have been for life) and we need more fans like you.
Here's the latest scoop...and there are many reasons to be optimistic...
Clay Bennet (the new Sonics owner) was upset that all the Seattlites were distrustful that the Sonics would stay in Seattle. Bennet has said he wants a team in Oklahoma City, but he's also a business man and Oklahoma is not a good market. It's about the same size as San Antonio and even though the Spurs have won several championships over the recent years, they haven't really been a money-maker.
Bennet claims that he really wants to keep the team in Seattle and has even been the instigator of all the talks with the cities. The latest idea is to move the team to Bellevue and build a sports complex that could host a hockey team as well as a basketball team.
Anyway, there's so much to report on about this, but there are definitely reasons to be optimistic. The best thing you can do is support the team like crazy this year, because if the fans don't support them this year, they'll be less likely to come back.
Go SONICS!

A team of Oklahoma businessmen did recently buy the Supersonics. At this point they say that they are not going to move them, and intend to leave them in Seattle. However, you as a fan need to do something to help keep them there. You and every other Sonics fan need to write letters to your Washington lawmakers to approve a new arena. Key Arena is a run down dump and the state of Washington and Seattle have made no effort to keep the Sonics there. So tell them to protect your memories and demand a new arena, or be prepared to fly to Oklahoma City to see your beloved Supersonics.

I think they bought the Super Sonics, but they promised Seattle that the Sonics are going to stay in Seattle.

they'll definitly be transferring to Oklahoma and this deal has been forseen for a lengthy time period, in my opinion that sounds A ok! to me. because the sonics suck in any case yet in all likelihood are nonetheless more effective perfect than my loved raptors.

I think that if they do move their they will get more publicity in Oklahoma City than they do now in Seattle

They have bought the team and they wanted a team because they like when the hornets were there and saw what a big attraction it was.
