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

Republican gubernatorial candidate Dino Rossi was at the Sonics game against Sacramento Sunday night. Rossi reiterated his support for a proposed $300 KeyArena remodel. He also said he believes Gov. Chris Gregoire should call as special session to allow for state lawmakers to allocate $75 million to make the project whole.

“Normally I don’t support these types of things,” Rossi said, when asked about the proposal after the game. “But this was a very rare deal that was brought forward. You have four people who have stepped forward who really weren’t interested in owning a team. But they understand what it meant for the region.
“I’ve never seen a deal like this before, which is why I stepped up.”

The Sonics fall to 40 games below .500 with a loss to Sacramento on Sunday.

Seattle coach P.J. Carlesimo talks about the game here.

In The Oklahoman today, New Jersey Nets owner Lewis Katz talks about why Oklahoma City will succeed in its support of an NBA team.
