Whatever helps you sell more coffee Schultz. This team will be in OKC sooner( no pun intended) or later.

Doesn't the owner of the team get to do what he wants with his team?

Love that photo ... misspellings on your protest banners increase the effectiveness.

Since this suit asserts fraud in executing the purchase agreement it might actually have some teeth. It has nothing to do with arena's or anything AFTER the contract was signed. This suit is about lying to obtain the team. Could get very interesting if more emails are uncovered during discovery.

Oklahoma Super Sonics, Oklahoma had a good attendance when they baby sat the HAWNETS!!

I've yet to see anyone from OKC embarassed by the behavior of OKC finest businessmen. Ya'll appear to be blinded in your effort to get a team that your willing to accept lying and actiing with no integrity.
The suit has merit and as it plays out Bennett and his bed buddy Stern will start getting real nervous that they might actually lose the team.
My bet is a settlement coming that keeps the Sonics in Seattle and a promise of the next available team to OKC.

Well put Darthjimmy! At last, some good perspective on this. Sorry OKC!

Totally against owners just deciding to move teams. Cities don't owe billionaires new stadiums. The league can kick in if need be. Anyone who thinks OKC is amore important market than Seattle for the NBA is a fool. The novelty will be short lived. The NBA will suffer from a variety of foolish moves over the last couple years. Just ridiculous behavior by all of the owners.

NBA doesn't care if it's the #1 Market or the #151 Market. They'll move it if the citie is stupid enough to build a stadium. With that being said. Here's the league in 2020:
Eastern Conference
Atlantic Division
Barcelona Celtics
Instanbul Nets
London Raptors
Milan Knicks
Paris 76ers

Central Division
Canton Cavaliers
Edmonton Pacers
Kentucky Bulls
Sryacuse Bucks
Ypsilanti Pistons

Southeast Division
Guantanimo Bay Magic
Macon Hawks
Ft Walton Beach Heat
South Carolina Bobcats
West Virgina Wizards

Western Conference
Northwest Division
Boise Trail Blazers
Casper Nuggets
Utah Jazz (no need to change)
Victoria Timberwolves
Wichita SuperSonics

Pacific Division
Bejing Suns
Hawaii Kings
LA Clippers (no other city has courted them)
Osaka Lakers
Seoul Warriors

Mark Cuban Division
Dallas Cubans (Expansion Team)
Dallas Grizzlies
Dallas Mavericks
Dallas Rockets
Dallas Spurs
Seattle Hornets

Focusing the case on fraud at time of sale rather than trying to determine whether Bennett's actions can be considered 'good faith efforts' or not has greatly increased Schutlz's chances for success. Bennett and co-horts have left a nice paper trial for the attorneys to follow. I would not be surprised if they uncover even more damaging emails in the weeks come.

The trail simply goes to show a group of wealthy businessmen who were willing to lie, cheat and eventually steal a playtoy for their own enjoyment and the hopeful application as "savior" for an entire region.

So satisfying to see it backfire in their smug faces..

What ever I mean he has enough damn money ha

I think lies are just what they need. Now that that's done, who thinks the Spurs looked a little old last night? You can see the age catching up with them, I mean when Tim dunked on Amare the second time, I thought wow he's so old. Let's not even begin to talk about Parker, I mean where is his head at? He needs to get in the game, only 41 points. Man he's probably just thinking of which island he'll take Eva to after the season's over. They are done. I think the Suns will roll off 4 straight. You can just see it in their eyes, the hunger, the longing, the focus. Suns in 7 baby. (HA!)

Suns in 7...no.
