If Oklahoma sportswriters think having an NBA team makes Oklahoma City world class, good luck with that.

I'm disgusted with the politics involved with the NBA. More concerned about playing games in China then keeping a staple team where its roots are. Furthermore, this "rebuilding" has gotten out of hand. I understand that maybe its best for the franchise a year or 2 down the road but at the fans expense. Now people all around the United States have to watch as there team repeatedly gets whooped on a nightly basis and they wonder why the ticket sales are down. Then you got teams Like the Hornets who are actually good and no one goes to watch them.

I feel bad for season ticket holders who bought a years worth of seats to see a team that has been left for dead by the owneer who is just writing it off as a loss and trying to get his move finalized. Its a shame I love the game of basketball or I would just stop watching the NBA all together. I wish there was another option. Euro, ABA anything would be a good alternative to Stern who has turned his back on the fans, the kids and everyone else that supports their local team.

One thing that I don't understand is why the Ford center can be remodeled and be a viable option for Mr. Bennet and the Sonics yet the Key Arena is beyond all hope from remodel? What about remodeling the Tacoma Dome for him? Would that be enough seats that he thinks he could fill?

I keep telling people I think the Tacoma dome should or could be remodeled for the Sonics, but everyone laughs at me. I'm serious. The whole reason we are in danger of losing the Sonics is because the City of Seattle has just not gave a rats ass about keeping them. Key Arena is actually quite nice. Probably just 2 to 3000 seats too small. The worst thing about the Key is the lease, not the building itself.

I think Mr. Williams put up the wrong link.

Listen to this one.
