Aaron Wolff, a criminal attorney in the Seattle area who does work for Save Our Sonics, has been in court following the case and was kind enough to take a few minutes with me to share his perspective.

Although several media reports have been critical of attorneys for the city's performance at this point, Wolff believes overall the city is doing well in arguing that the team should be required to honor the final two years of the lease.

"Maybe it didn't go as well as we would have liked on Monday," Wolff said. "But I think (city lead attorney Paul) Lawrence today on is cross examination did an excellent job with getting out the key points."

Wolff said even though attorneys have put forth a strong effort in defending the team's right to buy its way out of the lease, that ultimately the city needs to continue focusing on the specific clause stipulation in the lease, and the fact the ownership group agreed to honor that clause when they purchased the team.

"It's my belief that Keller is trying to bring in so many different point here," Wolff said. "But the key point here is whether or not the Sonics are obligated to stay based on the provisions in the lease."
