After the settlement with the City of Seattle, the team's ownership group still faced a lawsuit from the previous owner of the team Howard Schultz, CEO of Starbucks, who has sued the ownership group for defrauding his ownership group by allegedly making false promises to make good faith efforts to keep the team in Seattle for one year. If the lawsuit proves to be successful, the franchise would go back to Schultz, who could seek another buyer.

That fuckhead is just posturing so Seattle won't completely hate his fuckin ass for selling the team to Bennett who Schultz knew had designs on moving the team to OKC. Fuck him too. BOYCOTT STARBUCKS!!! this is some real fag shit to do. That team was the first pro team in Seattle and had been there since the 60's. Nothing was wrong with Key Arena and you cant blame the fans for not being ready to throw money on their 3rd sports venue (Safeco Field, Whatever they call the place the Huskies play) in the last few years. Every NBA owner who voted to approve the move is borderline gay for that too (Paul Allen and Mark Cuban are the only ones who voted against it).

Don't forget the Seahawks stadium ::), I just can't get over such bullshit
Suga Foot:
Key Arena is lookin pretty rough. It'll be interesting to see what happens, especially since Seattle just built 2 new stadiums.
I agree tho that Seattle will probably get a team before Vancouver does (if Van ever gets another team). BUT we do have the venue and infrastructure here in Vancouver. GM Place is only used for Hockey. And it's pretty new (1995). We also have the Pacific Coliseum.
Sucks for Seattle tho, I used to come down from Vancouver to catch some games.
Proc pka KP:
Crazy he paid a smaller amount compared to St Louis losing Rams. Sonics could come back though.
