It's not like the Bucks fan base is strong up there either. Should have let 'em walk.

Carolina hail to thee....
The fact that this is still only one page after a few days tells you how irrelevant of a deal this is.

u have no idea what youre talking about@ Seattle
Sonics would still play there if Seattle would put in the work and dedication they show now 9-10 years ago when it actually mattered

I remember the apathy during the Ray Allen years
I remember the empty seats in Key Arena
I remember local billionaires Jeff Bezos, Steve Ballmer or Craig McCaw not buying the franchise when Howard Schultz put it up for sale but Clay Bennett
Seattle had its chance to keep the Sonics but they blew it
They actually didn't. There's plenty of docs on Sonicsgate - Seattle was led in circles while a deal was being cut. There was never any good faith in those talks.I remember the apathy during the Ray Allen years

those docs are made by Seattle fans and not by neutral people
nothing more than pro Sonics propaganda
it's fukked up what happened but the whole situation was avoidable
Thunder are prospering in OKC so nobody outside the Pacific Northwest is actually mad about this
yeah ok
dismiss facts as propaganda brehs
if sonics fans don't tell the story of their team leaving, who tf will?
When have fans ever been impartial? Why would you expect the truth from someone with an obvious agenda?yeah ok
dismiss facts as propaganda brehs
if sonics fans don't tell the story of their team leaving, who tf will?
And for the record, I don't know what happened. I just know I wouldn't go all in on fan accounting of the situation.
watch one of the many docs and stop bullshytting then
if you watch Sonicsgate it's pretty damning
an impartial account probably still wouldn't paint Clay Bennet as a good guy, or his lies and scandal as anything other than what they were
dismissing a full account of the Sonics situation as "fan propaganda" is just ludicrous to me honestly, like, who else is supposed to give enough about the Sonics to make a full length documentary except a Sonics fan?

So Milwaukee and/or the state gotta come up with 4 milli a year until 2035, at which point and time the new arena will need upgrades and repairs, or else the team will 'move' in 2035. Rinse and repeat.
No talk about public ownership of the team or arena, the arena's operations will be tax free, as always. Only 'hit' is a 2 dollar surcharge on cheap tickets.
Basically the bucks get 4 million per year forever and the taxpayers get screwed, again. Bipartisan vote too. Anything bipartisan = L for citizens.

"Bu... bu... but he is promising to keep the team in Seattle!"
be a naive billionaire, brehs
a good ol' boy from Oklahoma bought your team while all those local tech billionaires (who all have significantly deeper pockets than Bennett) failed to step up to the plate
i have no sympathy for Seattle losing its franchise. nada.

Would've been cheaper to renovate & pay off the current arena in the long run letting the team walk than what state reps agreed to.

I don't give a fukk
Our team got jacked by some snake eyed scumbag to a middle of nowhere redneck shythole, Seattle fans came to terms with that already
we workin on getting this expansion team tho, I ain't tripping on ScumKC, just like no one else ever will after KD and Westbrook leave :mjsonics:
