Thats why the "Supersonics" will be changed as well. Like the other teams that have leaf cities and changed names. This isn't exactly unheard of.
Lakers didn't change when they left Minneapolis. I'll be damned to find a lake in Los Angeles
I assume you were referring to '95? And that wasn't just good baseball, that was unheard of. 12 games back in a month i believe to win in a one game playoff. Also, 116 wins in 2001. mariners i would say by far rule seattle. it was a freakin dynasty back in the day to most people. griffey, randy, arod, buhner, martinez, among many others. having said that though, i still dont see why the sonics have to move. most believe that they will move because of the stadium, and not creating enough revenue, which is the biggest bummer of all, that sports has to be this business oriented, because the key arena is a great environment to watch basketball. its small, yes, but i wouldnt say there is a bad seat in the house.Originally Posted by 651akathePaul
The Mariners had exactly one and a half months of good baseball in their almost 20-year history and it got them a new stadium

From what I heard Paul Allen put the team up for sale when the sonics were for sale, then when the sonics sold, allen took them off the market. So iguess he wanted to buy the sonics... Who knows he might move the blazers to seattle.Originally Posted by bruza
I'm not even from Seattle and this pissess me off. This has been a continuing trend in all pro sports that needs to stop. Anytime a team can't get a new arena they threaten to move (and sometimes do). Its exthortion of a sort IMO. Also, there were rumors of the Blazers leaving town as well. Any updates? If so, no more NBA in the Pacific Northwest.

But yeah, the Wizards used to be the Bullets, 76ers used to be the Warriors. Where are the Royals today, or the Nationals?
Teams change cities, they change team names as well. It goes both ways.

Watch they become the Sooners, I can't really think of anything else that is trademark to Oklahoma....
at all of you saying there is no fan base in Oklahoma. They only sold out every game while the Hornets were in town. You've got to remember, in this three state area (Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas) we have no professional sports teams. The Sonics will be treated like royalty around here. I might have to get me a Durant jersey now.
But after 1 season in OKC, the novelty would wear off and there would be a tremendous drop in people. You're telling me people in Kansas aregoing to care more about the sonics than the Jayhawks?
