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.

Keeping an eye on the NBA and Seattle's efforts to get back into the game
Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

Gov. Chris Gregoire released this statement after the city's announcement this morning.

"While I am disappointed that funding could not be found to renovate KeyArena., I am proud of the local ownership group that came forward, especially because those individuals have lived and worked in the community for years.

“As with the Seattle Storm, I am committed to keeping an NBA team in Seattle, and I want that team to be the Sonics. The current team owner, Clay Bennett, indicated to me that he will not sell the team. That does not mean that we should give up. I am continuing to work with community stakeholders, local officials and the Legislature to explore options for the future.”
