Keeping an eye on the NBA and Seattle's efforts to get back into the game

An interesting story involving the KeyArena lease lawsuit between the City of Seattle and the Sonics from the Associated Press this evening.

SEATTLE (AP) — The Seattle SuperSonics’ ownership group has already turned over 150,000 e-mails as part of its KeyArena lease dispute with the city. But a federal judge says the team must provide many more.
U.S. District Judge Marsha Pechman ruled Monday that as part of the lawsuit’s discovery process, the Sonics’ ownership group must give Seattle’s lawyers copies of e-mails sent from or to all of its eight board members that could potentially be relevant to the case.

Last month, the Sonics produced e-mails from Chairman Clay Bennett and co-owner Aubrey McClendon. The team’s lawyers argued that digging up the e-mails of the other six board members would be too much work and would only turn up redundant information.

The city, which is suing to keep the team from moving to Oklahoma City, disagreed. Trial is set for June.
The judge gave the Sonics 14 days to produce the rest of the e-mails.
