Last week, Richard Yarmuth, an attorney with Seattle-based law firm Yarmuth Wilsdon Calfo, said former Sonics owner Howard Schultz wanted to rescind the July 2006 sale of the team. That lawsuit was filed today. Here's the story from AP:
Former Seattle SuperSonics owner Howard Schultz has filed a lawsuit to undo his sale of the team to an Oklahoma City-based group led by Clay Bennett, saying Bennett lied to him by promising to keep the NBA franchise in Seattle.
The lawsuit, filed late Tuesday in U.S. District Court, seeks to deprive Bennett’s group of “the fruits of its deception” by rescinding the sale, and described Bennett’s actions as “fraud.”
Bennett’s Professional Basketball Club bought the team from Starbucks Corp. Chairman Schultz in July 2006, and Bennett publicly insisted he planned to keep the Sonics in Seattle. In reality, the group was eager to try and move the team to Oklahoma all along, according to internal e-mails revealed in litigation between the city of Seattle and the new ownership group.
The NBA’s board of governors voted last Friday to approve the Sonics’ move to Oklahoma.
Reached Tuesday evening, a spokesman for Bennett declined to comment.
