Sadly, the residents of Seattle no longer warrant our sympathy. Those days are gone with the SuperSonics. The once-supersize franchise is off to Oklahoma City, under an assumed name, with its carpetbagging owner leading the procession of moving vans.

What a great article...
Hopefully people will wake the hell up and realize what can happen..

I agree. An excellent piece by Voisin. Points out what might happen but also points out that Sacramento is, at least at this point, moving in the right direction to get the new arena in place.

Hope the NBA realizes there are only so many cities you can screw over before people stop caring about the NBA.

Agreed, but it isnt just the NBA. The Sonics move reminds me of when the Oilers left Houston and maybe moreso when the Browns left Cleveland and they got to keep the rights. Hopefully for Seattle's sake, the same thing will happen to them that happened in Cleveland.
