I can see this jersey updated with the wishbone collar that's popular now in the league.

KeyArena would be a temporary home. If a new arena plan is in place and being built, the league would have no problem with a team playing in the old building while a new one is built. There isn't any room on the Seattle Center (the land KeyArena exists on) property for what the league would want. There's also ZERO parking (always a problem throughout Sonics' history). The proposed location makes perfect sense. That area would eventually turn into an LA Live-type environment, especially with a multi-purpose arena with hockey and basketball. Three stadiums, all in a row, which would attract all sorts of other new construction and businesses. Of course the 'tard liberals in this city don't see the economic benefit of such things. They just see another arena destroying their precious skyline and their wallets.
I'm skeptical of all of this, as much as I want the NBA back in town. I think the NBA is still years away from coming back to Seattle. I do believe Stern when he says he'd like a team back in Seattle, but he will not push for it like he did to get a team to Bum-eff, Oklahoma, to please his jerk-off buddy Clay Bennett.

Probably just a rumor created to put the fear back into Sacramento citizens. I hope it works because I don't have any faith in Sacramentans voting for their tax dollars going toward the Arena.

The arena rumors came out months ago in Seattle based on reports the city was in talks with certain people about an arena project (and honestly, those discussions were about ANOTHER group, not even related to this current guy who has come to light). The Seattle Times submitted a public records request and got all the info related to building an arena in Seattle. The Kings coming to Seattle has NOTHING to do with what the Seattle Times received in regards to information. I've listened to multiple interviews on both sports radio stations, and the talk of the Kings coming is speculative, at best. The talk is it the Kings would be a possibility to come to Seattle, but not any more than the Hornets. That's why I say everyone needs to calm down. Nobody is moving anywhere by next season. But I guarantee if Steve Ballmer steps up and says "hey, here's $350 million, I'm building an arena, give me a team," then the ball will get rolling faster than you think.

I think the NBA giving up on the Hornets is much more likely than the Kings moving. I'm from Seattle and have been reading up on all this and it really doesn't make to much sense how the Kings got brought up.

You don't need to have faith in them because it's there isn't going to be a public vote on an arena.
From all the reports, Sacramento will have an arena built and the Kings will stay.
Sactown forever

Exactly. The stars are lining up for the Hornets to move, not the Kings. The Kings don't have the greatest fan support right now, but their mayor is a former NBA player. He's going to fight to the death for that franchise (unlike a certain fat former mayor of Seattle). This Kings talk shouldn't be viewed with much more than a tiny grain of salt.

Well, when the Kings have a deal finalized then I'll swap them with the Hornets. Just consider this the NHL/NBA in Seattle movement thread.
And Retro...I do not understand the correlation you bring up with Seattle not building an arena because Sac won't.

Or Sac Town can get the Hornets. The movement would be
People on here are very sure about the Kings staying...

Just another battle that was won in the war to keep the Kings in Sacramento.
How's Seattle arena situation looking? Is there even a plan to build one? Would there be any way to fund it?

While I'd like to make it clear that I hope the Kings stay in Sacramento, Seattle is one of the few places they could go where I would still support the team. Seattle is a great sports city with a passionate fan base. They'd be in good hands.
I know KJ is working hard, but the city loves shooting itself in the foot. We'll see what happens.
