New York, NY- Adam Silver has announced that the NBA will be adding 1 expansion team after the 2016-2017 NBA Season. Bringing the league to an uneven amount of teams at 31.
The city of Seattle has made a formidable bid to the NBA to bring a team back immediately. Headed by the "Bring Back Our Sonics" campaign and the financial backing of Microsoft CEO Bill Gates. The Seattle Supersonics will be re-instated.
Up until recently Gates has yet to show any interest in owning an NBA team. And he still doesn't own one. The Seattle Supersonics will be owned by the citizens of Seattle. Similar to how the Green Bay Packers of the NFL are owned the Sonics shares will go on sale next week. The most any single person can buy is 10. 55% of the team will be owned by the fans. The other 45% will be owned by local Seattle business' include both the NFL's Seattle Seahwaks and MLB's Seattle Mariniers.
"It's a unique opportunity for the entire city of Seattle. We want the Sonics to be a part of Seattle's lore from here on out." Gates said. Gates will be the Sonics head board member who will represent the Sonics until they get their entire board in place. Every share holder will be eligible to vote
"This is a great opportunity for the NBA and the city of Seattle. Such a unique thing we are going to do may change how professional sports are handled going forward in America" Adam Silver stated.
The rumor is that business group headed by Microsoft, Nintendo, the Seahawks, Mariniers and Starbucks chipped in a total of $1 billion to the NBA to bring the Sonics back.
One last note of the day, the New Orleans Pelicans will officially move to the East when the Sonics rejoin the league in 2017's new league year.
