    So incredible that they moved from there...

    It still blows my mind that you leave Seattle for OKC?  I'd much rather live in Seattle than OKC.

    The "sonics" are property of the "the thunder", so a new name will be needed.

    Flannel jerseys would look sweet.   Maybe.  Just don't let the fans pick the name.

    They will be the Sonics. The OKC ownership group has stated that they are willing to relinquish the logo and colors back to an expansion team in Seattle. However with that scumbag ownership, I am not sure they should be believed.
