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

Arena announcement today
Posted by Eric Williams @ 11:04:56 am

The City of Seattle will formally announce its intentions to rebuild KeyArena this afternoon at 3:30 p.m. in Mayor Greg Nickels' office.

The press conference I'm told will include a representative of the private investment group that has stepped forward and is willing to invest $150 million into a $300 million remodel. The other $150 million, according to several reports, will come from a $75 million chunk from the city, and a sought-after $75 million in state funds from an already existing tax.

I'll have more details this afternoon once the press conference concludes, along with reaction from state lawmakers, the NBA and the Sonics ownership group.
