About the possibility of the Sonics not moving to OKC

Man, things are crazy in NBA blogging circles about former Sonics owner and Starbucks gazillionaire Howard Schultz’s lawsuit against new owner Clay Bennett.

Apparently, there’s a real possibility that it could keep the Sonics in Seattle.

I’m watching this with great interest because I don’t want the Sonics to move to OKC.   I think the chances are less likely that KC will get an NBA team in the Sprint Center if there’s a team in OKC.

Sadly, they probably will move to OKC because:

1. NBA Commissioner David Stern has publicly supported the move
2. OKC taxpayers just OK’d a huge stadium renovation
3. NBA owners are about to vote on the relocation

If they don’t move, I might break down and go buy a Venti Caramel Macchiato at Starbucks to celebrate.

[fingers crossed]
