Rashard Lewis and Ray Allen? They were their entire team. They should've at least kept Lewis, even at 15 million per season or whatever he wanted. Also, fire PJ Carlesimo right now. New coach, winless in almost 10 games. The Sonics suck, and the city doesn't deserve them anymore. Maybe it is time for them to re-locate to Oklahoma City, you agree? Seattle has always been more of a baseball and football city anyway. The Sonics haven't really been good since the 90's when Carl was the coach.

The club was going nowhere fast with the duo, so management decided to cut its payroll and begin a 2-3 year rebuilding process. Though not a conspiracy theorist, dumping stars may be a great way to alienate fans of a franchise looking for a couple of great excuses to relocate.
Seattle has been a good NBA market & this sorry club leaving may just open the city for another existing team to move there.

nicely, in spite of each thing the stylish names the Seattle followers have given like, the airborne dirt and dust Bowlers, Bombers (the single that i will keep in mind the main through fact I exceeded off to comprehend a guy who died interior the blast), Stealers, Thieves and so on.... i will choose for the Oklahoma Thunder. enable Seattle save their green (and the seventy 5 million Seattle bought their followers out for). After some domicile video games in OKC, the ex-Sonics won't even keep in mind their classless followers.

ok. they have been losing. they do suck right now. NOW. where would they be in a few years with durant and green? they're obviously looking towards the future. PJ Carlesimo doesn't have much to work with on his team. the team is filled with players with equal (and bad) talent.
Oklahoma City is a different thing. let the businessmen do their thing, and the players do their things.

Rebuilding, They weren't getting that far with Ray and Rashard, those guys aren't getting younger.
They are looking to build around Durrant, it will be 2-3 more seasons before they are exciting and competitive
