The Daily Oklahoman has an interesting report on the Seattle City Council passing an ordinance that is supposed to hold the Sonics to their lease agreement with KeyArena. However, apparently event the council members themselves don’t believe the ordinance carries much weight.

In case you missed it, Mitch in the Morning at KJR 950 caught up with Marques Johnson on Tuesday. Johnson will do 10 Seattle Sonics games this year. It’s worth checking out. Take a listen to that interview here.

Sonics chairman Clay Bennett has used the San Antonio Spurs as a model to mold the Sonics franchise. Here’s an interesting story out of San Antonio (I have to give props to Supersonicsoul.com for the link) which has the Spurs asking for $164 million in taxpayer subsidies to upgrade the AT&T Center,built five years ago for $193.4 million.

And here’s the latest on Portland’s No. 1 pick Greg Oden and the prospects on how serious his knee injury is from the Oregonian.
