    How many dollars will I shell out in tax dollars for this new venue for this millionaire? There is no way this facility, streets, parking, police, repairs will be paid by Hansen with his profits.

    your taxes will help pay for the new arena. If you stay away,they will not. My guess is you won't be paying any taxes. So quit worrying and be happy for those who enjoy the sport.

    The league has already said that Key is not an acceptable venue. It's one reason why the Sonics went to OKC. It is a dump. -

    to a city with two law suits against it?I smell a skunk!! The latest suit states that the arena plan violates Initiative 91, according to The Seattle Times. The initiative, which Seattle voters approved in 2006, said the city must make a profit on any investment in a sports facility.

    What has changed?

    OK, so it looks like Seattle might be getting another NBA team. It won't be the Sonics, but at least it will have the name. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say we lost the Sonics years ago because the owners couldn't make the profits they expected. So what has changed since then? Lower expectations? And where will the team play? The Key Arena that was deemed to small for a professional team? The article mentions a new facility, but construction on that can't even start until we secure an NHL team, and I haven't heard any talk about that. That is probably still years away. So congrats to the NBA fans; but if you couldn't support the original Sonics, how are you going to support this new team?

    Seattle lost the Super Sonics because Wally Wanker cared more about cultivating his refined/cosmpolitan appearance amongst the NBA cognoscenti, than he cared about winning Championships.

    Karl won 71.4% of his games between 91 and 98. Phil Jackson won 74.7% of his games during the same period. Karl had ALMOST as much success using MUCH LESS talent. From time to time Karl would speak from his heart and call bullscheise where he saw it. Wally Wanker took offense to Karl's HONESTY.

    Karl got fired. Super Sonics sucked for years afterward. Team Gone. EFF - U Wally Wanker!
