[misterx]

SEATTLE -- The city of Seattle and the SuperSonics reached a settlement Wednesday just before a federal judge was to rule in their KeyArena lease dispute.
Terms of the settlement were expected to be announced Wednesday night at simultaneous news conferences with city officials in Seattle and Sonics owner Clay Bennett in Oklahoma City.

It is really hard to fathom why anyone would be that desperate to move to Oklahoma City.

It is really hard to fathom why anyone would be that desperate to move to Oklahoma City.

Not when you're losing that much money a year owning a team it isn't. But Bennett planned all along to move the Sonics, thats the only reason he bought them, which ought to be a crime.

That's really messed up. The fans in Seattle didn't deserve that.
