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

We appear to have a rock throwing contest here. Mayor Greg Nickels responded to Sonics' chairman Clay Bennett's comments this afternoon. Here's what the mayor had to say.

"As I indicated to Mr. Bennett when he called July 19th, I would be happy to meet with him and discuss how we can work together to keep the Sonics in Seattle. My door is always open.

"However, if Mr. Bennett wants to limit the conversation to an early buy-out of the team’s lease at Key Arena, then I agree — a trip to Seattle isn’t worth the price of the plane ticket.

"Seattle and Key Arena have been home to the Sonics — and more recently the Storm — for 40 years. I would like to see that tradition continue and I remain committed to working with the Sonics in the spirit of cooperation and partnership to make that happen.

"Let me say again, if the Sonics are committed to staying in Seattle there are sensible solutions that, working in good faith, can be found."
