@@XBOXShawn12thman Agreed, at least one championship is better than none. And the Sonics / Thunder are better off in that regard than the 10 other teams without one. As to why some teams without a championship haven’t moved, my guess is it’s because their attendance and stadium issues aren’t as big of a concern. Isn’t that why most teams move in the first place?

my favorite player in nba 2k is supersonics ray. never got to watch him as a player in his prime but looking back he was special. more than just a 3pt threat
Sometimes I forget cp3 played his rookie year in OKC after Katrina. The city really had a lot of help rebuilding bc of the success that he and the saints had. S/o CP3

@@xzaviuraurai ridiculous!? In what world is it ridiculous to have the two most recent cities that the NBA departed from. Both cities got shafted from the league big time and the NBA recognizes it. Of the the three PNW cities Portland is the smallest of the three. The fanbases in Washington state, & in Vancouver, BC & western Canada are all different then the fanbase in Portland. Besides by also adding Seattle and Vancouver back into the NBA geographically aligns the league a whole lot better and would help west coast teams, especially Portland save a lot of distance on travel. Also both Portland and Vancouver only have 1 pro sports franchise in each city so I have no idea on what you mean by them “eating” the market share. Also to mention there’s a lot of east coast team that are alot closer then the three major PNW cities. Lastly, Seattle and Vancouver both have established and separate fanbases. I know the NBA is going to make amends for its previous mistakes, at this point it’s just only a matter of time.
I would take Mexico City over Vegas. Las Vegas is a transient town and their arena will always be at least 50% visiting fans. Mexico City would go wild
Please bring back the Sonics with the Supersonic name and their uniform the same as it was when they left Seattle ..... Also add the History so they are not starting new again
Not to mention the City of Seattle obviously can provide in terms of Fanbase with what we’ve seen since about 2012 with the Seahawks. Imagine A 12th man atmosphere in the NBA…. OKC and GSW are the comparable ones during their exciting runs
Every time they bring a nba pre season game here it’s filled out. Last month during the clippers and Trail Blazers game it was just filled with Sonics jerseys. The entire arena was screaming “SUPER SONICS” the whole way through. I do hope we get one, my dad used to be a huge fan of it, to the point he didn’t buy no Starbucks products for almost 10 years (that’s doing a lot but that was how my protested it lol)
We don't have to imagine a 12th man atmosphere in the NBA.. it already happened.... Ask any player from the '80s and '90s and they'll tell you Seattle was One of the loudest arenas if not the loudest arena in the NBA..
As a diehard Lakers fan and nba fan Adam silver definitely needs to bring Seattle a nba franchise back if the Seattle krakens who back in the day was a former nhl team and they became a nhl franchise again why can't the Seattle supersonics become a nba franchise again
Definitely need them back but I absolutely do not want to add anymore nba teams. I don’t think basketball is a sport that can have good parity with too many teams. Looking back at it now, the 80s add some deep teams. The league added like 7 teams from the late 80s and many star players were spread out and didn’t when against teams with two stars. Once great players joined forces, the media called them superteams but that was once the norm in the 80s. It put star players in a position to make the playoffs year in and year out but never have a chance to really win a title. The team would also have no chance of getting quality draft picks. Most teams just can’t develop talent like the spurs.
Actually it’s already stipulated in court that the Seattle Sonic banners and trophy’s belong to Seattle and not OKC. If Seattle were to get another team, those banners and Championship would be part of the New sonics again. Clay Bennett may have stole the franchise but wasn’t allowed to steal the team’s history.
Coming from someone who lives in Okc when the Thunder came everything changed! I just wish we had more big sports teams now that Okc has fallen it’s been quiet for sometime

That's also a bad mark on David Stern's resumé while he was commissioner. He probably could've done more to prevent the Sonics from moving out of Seattle.
Nah what's ridiculous is that Seattle allowed the team to be taken away because the city gave no fucks at all when for years and years and years your governors and city leaders were told what will happen if the Sonics don't get a new stadium. When i say for years, i mean literally since the mid 90s. It wasn't until the actual threat of taking the team away became a reality, when the city buckled up and made half an attempt to save their franchise. By selling the franchise to someone who had no ties to Seattle at all 😂. Then when it did get taken away, THATS when everyone started crying.
I'm from Seattle and the Sonics were stolen when I was 4 and growing up without a home team was really hard to get over especially when you're really young. They keep talking about bringing the Sonics back but ion think it'll ever happen.

I have not watched one minute of NBA basketball since that happened. I was in the hospital at 14 when I watched them win the big one. Stern was complicit. His attitude was this. If you don't build our teams what they want, when they want it. You just might not have a team.
AND, they need to be given their name & history back. There's even a precedent for it. When the Hornets left Charlotte they took the name & history when they left. When they changed their name to the Pelicans, the Bobcats were able to change their name back to the Hornets.
I pretty much lost all interest in the NBA because of that sale. Owner knew the plan was to move the Sonics out of Seattle. I have never spent a dime on since at Starbucks.
I took a sports econ class in college that explained why the NBA coming back to Seattle is a longshot. Hard to make money as an NBA franchise in Seattle
What's a shame is when Billionaire Paul Allen was alive , he would rather own an NBA Team in Portland than Seattle where he made a name for himself with Microsoft . Seattle has potential Billionaire NBA team Owners with the money to make a modern NBA Arena .
They kept the "SuperSonics" name just in case someday they get a team again. Besides, the Wolves are historically the worst team ever, their winning percentage is the lowest overall.

We might see that rectified soon. Keep an eye on the Kraken. Depending on how things go with them, the NBA may return.
Ray Allen.. Kevin Durant... Rashard Lewis... Supersonics we're together.. I forgot about Luke ridinour or whatever his name was
I remember the arena catch fire by the jumbo tron during a game next thing you know OKC lol
What's a shame is when Billionaire Paul Allen was alive , he would rather own an NBA Team in Portland than Seattle where he made a name for himself with Microsoft .
Seattle has potential Billionaire NBA team Owners with the money to make a modern NBA Arena .
Add 2 new teams 1 in Vegas and one in Seattle
I miss them😢
Can’t wait for the Seattle Timberwolves 😂
They kept the "SuperSonics" name just in case someday they get a team again. Besides, the Wolves are historically the worst team ever, their winning percentage is the lowest overall.
GP favorite sonics player of all time
Vancouver and Seattle need teams. Period
I miss the Sonics the same way I missed Eddie Jones when the Lakers traded him
