    Seriously though...I won't mind if this deal gets done. Hopefully it leads to NHL team in Seattle too.

      The way I understood it, the arena was agreed to because it would be for an NBA team and NHL team.

        Arena can go forth without the NHL team, but obviously the finances work out a lot better if there is an NHL team.

            Oh man, I'm really happy if Seattle gets the Sonics, but I hope the Kings can be kept with Sacramento. We know how they feel, they are just as great fans as Sonic fans. I love both Seattle and Portland. Can't wait for the I5 Rivalry be renewed.

              Hopefully that'd be true. Columbus Blue Jackets seem like most obvious team to be moving. Phoenix SHOULD be moving, but since Bettman is in love with them(and Phoenix losing money is small part of reason for lockout), that won't happen.

                  I hear ya, Seattle definitely knows how you feel. Obviously we want a team back but no one wants to take a cities team but unfortunately that's how it happens. Hang in there!

                    From what I understand, the whole agreement with the KC council and the Seattle council depends on if Hansen can secure a NBA team. He can't break ground on any construction until a team has been secured. His main purpose for the arena was to bring the Sonics back but also made sure that it was capable of hosting NHL games.

                    I'm totally psyched about the news today. Can't wait for NBA basketball to come back to Seattle.

                    Took almost everything I had to not have "come down with a nasty migraine and leave work early" to go home and pop NBA2K in and play.

                    EDIT: I really don't see a Sactown local buyer coming in to save the day for the local crowd. From what I've heard, there is nothing in place to keep the team in town. No arena plan/money or investment group to outbid the Hansen/Balmer group. The Maloofs are too much in debt and are getting desperate to pay off loans themselves.

                        Sigh.

                        Guess I gotta become a Sonics fan huh?

                        Can I adopt the Seahawks too without looking like a bandwagoner?

                        Just....so sad right now

                            Yeah, every team in the South besides LA, St. Louis is much closer than Columbus imo.

                              The news just hurts so much as a fan of the kings.
