Mickey Arison (owner of Miami Heat) had a Twitter exchange with a Seattle fan. I linked to the whole exchange in the Sonic fan thread, but here's the part I found very interesting:
Arison: U don't get it. We are voting to leave or not Sac. I love Sea and will support a team there but honestly ur making it harder to support u.
Fan: Again Mr. Arison I'm not trhing to harass u. I want a NBA team back. 2008 was painful and so is now. If u tell me what I need to do to get...
Arison: U don't want 2understand. The question b4 the committee is has sac done all it should to keep the team. The answer is yes. not a vot abt sea
...
The fan is typical of a lot of Seattle folks. This is the first time, however, I've seen anything from a committee member about the relocation vote and it certainly echoes what most of us here had surmised. It's also a pretty clear indication that the BoG is NOT going to do anything to take away our Kings.
I LOVE THIS TEAM!
Unfortunately, I still dislike the Miami Heat.![Stick Out Tongue :p :p](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
