I know this is just speculation and the draft is months away but just think about if they get the #1 pick.
The Sonics are building around two players right now They are Kevin Durant and Jeff Green. Kevin Durant is having a great rookie year (avg 19 points a game)and Jeff Green is playing pretty well also. These two players by themselves could provide a bright future for Seattle but apparently Clay Bennett (Sonicsowner) thinks they aren't enough to keep the team in the same location.
Think about it, the Sonics get #1 pick (which isn't that little of chance since as of today they have a 11.9% shot to get the #1 pick ) they bring inMichael Beasley who completely electrifies the whole city of Seattle, making them think this team could go somewhere sooner rather than later. Think of thatcombo, Green + Durant + Beasley = a BRIGHT future for the Sonics.
For those of you that don't know, Clay Bennett is aggressively pursuing the idea of moving the Sonics to Oklahoma City. The only way he says he won'tmove the team is if the Sonics get a completely brand new arena, which has been turned down by the higher ups in Seattle. But, if, just if, the Sonics get the#1 pick, bringing in Beasley, maybe this will change the mindset of all those people who said "no" to a new arena. The upside of this team would takea gigantic swing and hopefully the city of Seattle would notice it. If they did, they would probably see that it would be a good choice to keep this team inSeattle, since they young talent on the team would be completely ridiculous.
This is just what I've been thinking about since the season is winding down and teams are starting to tank. Has anybody else gave this a thought for whatthis could do for Seattle?
