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.

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

According to The Oklahoman, the Sonics sent a letter of intent stating the lease terms they would like if the team moves to city's Ford Center next year.

Among the requests, the Sonics are seeking a total rent of $40,000 per game. The team would share in ticket and concession revenues, have parking set aside for it downtown and be able to renegotiate the naming rights of the arena.

Here's the letter of intent.

In Olympia on the last day of session, lawmakers sent another letter in support of the recent proposal to revamp KeyArena, but again would not commit to putting money into the project this session.

On the court, Seattle takes on Minnesota tonight, and Mouhamed Sene has been recalled from the Idaho Stampede.
