Post-Sonics Watch
Feeling lost without your Seattle SuperSonics? Seattle-area NBA fans face their first season without an NBA team in 41 years. Primarily, our coverage here will focus on the City of Seattle’s attempt to bring the NBA back to Seattle. But we also will provide updates on the Portland Trail Blazers, the Oklahoma City Thunder and area players plying their trade for other teams in the NBA.

Eric Williams covered the Sonics' last season in Seattle. A Tacoma native, Eric graduated from Mount Tahoma High and the University of Puget Sound.

Keeping an eye on the NBA and Seattle's efforts to get back into the game
Thursday, June 21st, 2007

1) I think that Clay still wants to keep a team in Seattle but only with public participation. He doesn’t want to keep it here if he has to add partners or pay more than $100 million. If he doesn't get public money, he moves it to OKC and is a local hero.

2) I don’t know that there are more arena stories to generate. I have not heard anything of late about any arena news, and I think there may not be until Clay sees whether the Legislature convenes a special session in July.

3) David Stern works for the owners, and the owners most likely will let Clay leave if he wants because A) they stand to make a bunch of free money off the relocation fee and B) they don’t ever want to be told no if they one day want to leave their town.

4) No, Frank Hughes will not lose his job if Seattle loses the Sonics. And he will not have to move to Oklahoma City because he works for the Tacoma News Tribune, not the Sonics.
