Its official. After a suprise agreement today the Sonics of Seattle are no more and will be moving on to Oklahoma City for the 08-09 season. As a huge sonics fan in the early 90′s (those post Magic pre Shaq & Kobe teams were hard to get behind, other then Vlade of course) its truly a sad day to see this storied franchise go. I mean how can a former NBA champion just fade off into nothingness? The whole thing stinks to high heaven and I can’t for the life of me figure out why Stern has all along seemed to say “screw you Seattle we are moving them” and never made an effort to keep them there.
People of Seattle you have my condolences…just remember the good times, Payton, Kemp, Schrempf, Perkins, McMillan, etc…
