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.

New arena proposal
Posted by Eric Williams @ 09:25:30 am

Today at 11 a.m., a local investment group is supposed to announce plans for a new privately financed arena in downtown Seattle, although public relations contacts for the group would not confirm if this arena would be capable of housing the Sonics.

From what I understand, this group is separate from the private investment group headed by Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer that is working with the city on a $300 million proposal to revamp KeyArena with the hope of keeping the Sonics.

The city of Seattle also has no connection with this new investment group, called B2 Inc. That's all I know now, but I'll update the blog with new information after the press conference, along with audio from the meeting.

Maybe there can be a marraige between B2 Inc., and the Steve Ballmer group and they can build that 1st class arena Clay Bennett has been talking about. I've been wondering about the $300 million proposal to revamp Key Arena as $300 million seems an awful lot to revamp an arena when you can build a brand new one for $500 million?
