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

The Muckleshoot Indian Tribe will host a question and answer session on Monday with the consultants who performed the feasibility study.

The report delves into the possibility of building an arena that could potentially house the Seattle SuperSonics and Storm on land owned by the tribe next to Emerald Downs.

Last month the Muckleshoots released a preliminary progress report on a feasibility study for a potential arena next to Emerald Downs. Brailsford & Dunlavey, a Washington, D.C., firm that specializes in facility planning, is performing the study.

The report’s preliminary analysis indicated that Seattle is a strong NBA market. Also, a drive-time analysis showed little difference between fans who would drive to KeyArena and a potential new facility in Auburn.

There’s a little over two weeks left before training camp. For Sonics fans who are getting a little anxious for the season to begin, check out the clip below provided by a regular reader of this blog.
