As some of you may have heard, the Seattle Supersonics are moving to OKC, but there is one catch the Sonic's name and Colors stay in seattle. So that when in 3 years some rich guy from seattle (I'm looking at you, Howard Shultz) buys the Sacramento Kings, Memphis Grizzlies or Charlotte Bobcats; the Sonics will be back like nothing ever happened ala the Cleveland Browns of the NFl. The Browns moved to Baltimore and were renamed the Ravens back in '96, but in '99, the NFL granted Cleveland an expansion team who are the Browns of today. By the way, Howard Shultz is the CEO of star-bucks and since star-bucks is taking a beating in the market maybe he can boost revenues by renaming the team the Star-bucks Supersonics of seattle. But, look at the bright-side, Sonics Owner Clay Bennett was ordered to pay the city of seattle $75 Million Doll-hairs. Because he broke his lease with Key Arena. I would gladly sell the Knicks outright to Seattle for that sum. The Seattle Knickerbockers just rolls of the tongue. How about it seattle, we just got Chris Duhon and D-Gall. Have your people call my people.
I am glad that there is at least one owner in the NBA worse than Jim Dolan. I guess that's my consolation prize for another disappointing season.
But, I digress, This Post is about making seattle feel better, not about the False Profit, Isaiah and his incompetent ways.
The OKC NBA team needs a name and I have some pretty Good Suggestions for a nickname:
The Oklahoma City SuperDuperSonics : OKC might as well kick seattle while they're down. Those Vicious Sooners will rally behind this one for sure. Yee-Ha!
The Oklahoma City basketball team formerly known as Seattle : It would be wise for Clay Bennett not to burn any bridges in Seattle (try to keep a straight face.) Because Seattle is the 13th biggest media market in America, while OKC is a hearty 45th. Since there are only 30 NBA teams, that means that there about 15 markets without NBA teams that are bigger than Seattle. Did the NBA really think this one through? Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Cincinnati and Kansas City are all still without Pro basketball teams. Only time will tell.
The Oklahoma City Reverse Carpetbaggers : This name is historically accurate, check it out.
The Oklahoma City Dust-Bowlers : Nothing says fresh start like reminding people of past failures and disasters. This team will think twice before losing.
The Oklahoma City Bombers : Aw, too soon. Its my Blog and frankly I don't believe in Political Correctness.
Not too Bad eh?
