As if the name wasn’t bad enough, check out the logo. Awful. Thank God Seattle retained the rights to the Sonics brand so they can apply it when they get a team back in Jet City. Visit site »
I dunno if it’ll work, but it’s step one in my suggested plan (Schultz sues to get the team back and then hands it over to Ballmer). It may go a little ways towards restoring Schultz’ reputation in Seattle, too — especially if he actually manages to get the team back. Visit site »
Clearly, this evidence suggest Clay Bennett is a jackass who never had the best intentions of Seattle or the Sonics in mind — but we already knew that. The big question is: what does this mean to the future of the team in the Emerald City?
I don’t know, but I’ll tell you what I hope it means: I hope it means Howard Schultz can sue the bejesus out of Bennett for breach of contract and hand the team over to Steve Ballmer, who would be a freaking great owner. Fingers crossed. Visit site »
