I’m here at the owner’s meeting at the St. Regis Hotel, and it sounds like they’re putting a wrap on things and will have a press conference to discuss the vote on the Sonics relocation application, among other things, in the next hour or so. But again, that’s not an official announcement by the league.
Several local media outlets are here, including KIRO-7 and KING-5, along with myself and Percy Allen from the Seattle Times.
And the Sonics fans have a representative here as well, as Brian Robinson of Save Our Sonics made the trip, outfitted in Sonics gear, and is hanging around outside the St. Regis Hotel.
Gov. Chris Gregoire also has a representative here.
I think the announcement that the press conference coming early means what most of us thought all along – that the ownership decided to approve the relocation application pretty handily, with the stipulation of what happens in federal court on June 16 between the City of Seattle and the Sonics regarding the KeyArena lease agreement.
I’ll post audio of David Stern’s conversation after the press conference, along with a response from Sonics chairman Clay Bennett if he is available, and other folks affected by the decision.
