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

This is from the Associated Press:

The federal judge in the court battle between the city of Seattle and owners of the SuperSonics won’t say how she would have ruled.

U.S. District Judge Marsha Pechman was set to announce her decision last Wednesday, but on that day the two sides announced they had reached a settlement allowing the NBA club to relocate to Oklahoma City without delay.

The Oklahoman newspaper left a message asking the judge asking how she would have ruled had there not been a settlement. Pechman replied through a law clerk that she would not answer that question.

Seattle had sued the Sonics to try to enforce the remaining two years of the Sonics’ lease to play at Key Arena.

With the settlement, Pechman’s ruling became moot.

I think the judge would have ruled in favor of the city, ie. forcing the Sonics to live up to the lease. But the weak-ass Seattle polititians caved in and were bought out.

I don't care that she won't announce what her decision would have been as long as she remembers what her decision was when she deliberates on the Shultz case.

It's a tossup for me. On the one hand it would have been nice if she had put the smack down and demanded the Sonics play out their remaining 2 years. However, I also don't see the point in having a lame-duck team. Clay Bennett and the weak-ass state legislature, and brain-dead Seattle/King County polititians can all kiss my wass! I'm a Portland Trailblazers fan! When is the News Tribune planning to Blog the Blazers?
