NBA TV and nba.com will carry the press conference live. Last I've been told by NBA folks is the press conference will take place between 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. Eastern Time, which means about 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. back in the Seattle area.
NBA Commissioner David Stern and Sonics chairman Clay Bennett will speak during the press conference.
I talked to Mark Rupp, a representative of Gov. Chris Gregiore's office who works in Washington D.C. and is here to represent the governor. Rupp said he has not had a chance to speak with anyone from the NBA, but that Gregoire still believes it is important to keep a team in Seattle.
I also spoke with Brian Robinson of Save Our Sonics, who is not being allowed in the hotel because he doesn't have media credentials. Robinson said he thought it was important for a representative of Sonics fans to be here so the NBA understands its decision affects fans in Seattle.
