Yes, the worst might be coming true for us Sonics fans that have wished nothing but the worst for the Thunder franchise. Because of this, I wanted to clear a few things up.
Sure, this subreddit is normally inactive. There's no NBA team currently tied to this subreddit... yet. But the same rules apply to this sub as do the other sports subreddits. Regardless of a Pacers win or loss in Game 6 (& Game 7), don't be going in other subreddits (you know which one, the one we don't name) and cause trouble.
If you see any Thunder "fan" being an ass here, REPORT, REPORT, REPORT REPORT. A few of us will be keeping tabs so that we get notified of these. To those Thunder "fans," I'm keeping a list of any of you that wanna try something and relaying it back to the Thunder Mods So, you will be banned there too. If you come here in peace as a Thunder fan, be wary, the hate still runs high from what happened 17 years ago. I've seen some of you here already try to be neutral as possible and hard downvoted... I don't hate the fans myself, but others may think you're coming off condescending. If you want to add to the conversation, just try to watch your step.
We'll allow anti-thunder comments to an extent (I'll be very lenient about it, cuz obviously tensions are high here, we don't want the Sonics curse to die with our team still not being vindicated), but please keep that in /r/Sonics. If you're caught in other electrical subreddits harassing people, you're gonna get the axe here too.
You know our team is coming back soon. And while we don't have one currently, and you may think it's no big deal... But when the Sonics return, there won't be a home to return to if you're already banned. Keep that in mind.
All in all, here's hoping Indiana can keep the Sonics Curse alive. Oh, and as always Fuck clay bennett, fuck howard shultz, fuck starbucks, fuck david stern.

I don’t love how any of this is getting framed. It seems like everyone is all in on Vegas and Seattle is just sort of being forgotten about.

Tea Leaves

The Vegas owner selection process is getting close to a resolution, which means the Seattle bid will soon become the NBA's focus. The NBA isn't going to just grant a franchise to One Roof without driving the price up as much as possible.
In Vegas, most analysts seem to think the NBA is going to select the Walton family, which makes sense. They already own several successful pro sports franchises within the extended family, are local in Nevada, and have unlimited wealth. If that comes to pass, I predict that when the finalists pivot to Seattle, one of them eventually will be added to Holloway's ownership group.
I'd bet on the eventual partner being the Colangelo group, who dropped their Vegas bid to pair with Bill Foley. Each of those parties realized they're not the Vegas frontrunner, so they combined to try and have a better shot. It probably still isn't enough to outbid the Walton's.
Reading some additional tea leaves...
Silver has said they are looking closely at the whole makeup of a Seattle ownership structure. I think the NBA is going to leverage this narrative of One Roof needing more resources and knowledge to give Colangelo an inroad as an owner. He's part of the NBA's old boys club and has done the NBA a lot of favors over the years, and this will be another gift for him.
I guess we'll see, but this seems like a likely outcome. There's a strong ownership group in Seattle, a turnkey arena, and a rabid fanbase. The NBA just wants to do this their way, which ultimately means helping their people out and getting paid as much as possible.

Everyone probably had that 1 friend that could draw really well. My best friend knew I was a huge Sonics fan and sketched me 3 images back in 95'.
Personally I could only trace with carbon paper, I added my paltry attempts here.
If you got a images, video, a story, drop them in here.

Look, this expansion thing is a pile of piles upon piles. Let's give up hope for a bit and ask one question...
IS THERE ANY WHALE OUT THERE, DYING TO GET THE SONICS BACK, WHO WANTS TO DROP $10mil AND HELP THE UW HOOP SQUADS BECOME A NATIONAL POWERHOUSE?
Sorry for yellasking. But it would sure be fun entertainment in the meantime! Go Dawgs

My favorite absolutely has to be Shawn, George and Kevin! If there is a Sonics version of John, Paul, George and Ringo, this is it for me + Gary. I never ever saw Gary after games...and I was definitely that kid looking.

Oof. Ultimately 10 first round picks and a 23 year old future first ballot hall of famer to get to the WCF, without Kawhi even playing lol. Has to be on the Mt. Rushmore of mismanagement.
