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

Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard’s Superman dunk is something to see -- again and again. He played it up to the crowd in New Orleans, but watching it in slow motion really gives you a better appreciation of the athleticism it took to pull it off. Check the video out here.

Another group has joined www.march4vote.org in a campaign against the March 4 initiative to fund building improvements for the Oklahoma City's Ford Center to attract an NBA franchise. Called Maps For Millionaires, the group is against giving public funding for the Sonics.

There’s also an interesting survey commissioned by KFOR-TV, a TV station in Oklahoma city. The poll showed that only 47 percent would vote for the initiative, while 48 would vote against and 5 percent were undecided. The survey was completed in late January, so a lot could change by March 4, and I would think the initiative would pass regardless because all of the other public projects have been successful.

Finally, the Jason Kidd trade was completed today, and he’s officially with the Dallas Mavericks.
