The NBA has decided to bring back the Super Sonics to Seattle, as an expansion team. Finally, basketball has come back to Seattle, starting with the expansion draft. The Sonics get the first pick in the 1st round of the 2015 draft. They would then shock everyone by taking Devin Booker with the first pick to start their team building process. Then, they had the expansion draft. In this draft, every NBA team was allowed to protect 10 players on their roster, and the rest were able to be drafted by the Sonics.
The players the Sonics were able to acquire through the expansion draft were: Doug McDermott, Russ Smith, Cleanthony Early, James Ennis, Kent Bazemore, Earl Clark, Boban Marjanociv, and Steve Novak. The Sonics would also acquire Point Guard Darren Collision via trade. They weren't done though. With a roster full of young talent, the Sonics wanted to bring in a veteran. Someone who could help these young players through the tough rebuilding process. A familiar face...

Ray Allen decided to come out of retirement to play one more year for the team that started it all for him, the Sonics.
So, going into opening day where the Sonics will play at home, hosting the LA Clippers, this will be their starting 5
PG: Darren Collison
SG: Ray Allen
SF: Devin Booker
PF: Steve Novak
C: Boban Marjanociv
We will see if the Sonics come out tough in their first game in front of these Seattle fans who will be highly anticipating the return of their beloved Sonics, in what will be an uphill battle of a year for sure.
