Basketball has returned to Seattle and the Supersonics name is alive and well!!
Milwaukee lose franchise after profit margins continued to drop below the line!
Over the past two seasons secret meetings were being held between the Bucks ownership group and a very private group from the Seattle area. The main spokesperson for the Seattle group is little known businessman Trent Lowe who will be taking the reins as the new general manager.
There had been a lot of rumors floating around over the last two years as a brand new arena was being built in downtown Seattle without public funding by Lowe's Constructions. It now turns out that this plan had been in place for the Bucks franchise to move into this new state of the art arena in Seattle, as the team had been struggling to stay afloat in Milwaukee.
The Bucks history will stay in Milwaukee, as Seattle reclaimed the old Supersonics history from OKC, at quiet a hefty price through. The players, coachs, staff etc will be joining the team in Seattle but Jason Kidd requested to be released as he, quote, "didn't sign up for this!".
One Sonic fan said, "It's great that they are back, it's sad the Bucks fans had to lose there team but it happens!", another couldn't care about the Bucks lose, "Didn't even know Milwaukee had a team? Not like the fans really showed they cared!"
How will the Sonics go this time around? They are defiantly here to stay as this group has money and lots of it to spend, happily might I add. Not much is known about the GM but he helped get the Sonics back here in Seattle so we must put our trust in him to turn this roster around.
Seattle Up it's going to be a fun ride.
