I think we have some of the best sports teams names in Seattle with Mariners, Sonics, and Seahawks.mostonmike wrote: ↑Wed Mar 25, 2026 8:51 pmSupersonics is the coolest franchise name in the whole history of any of the major leagues. Will be great to see them return - but this isn't guaranteed. Just a proposal and knowing the NBA, they are targeting a $10 billion expansion fee. It might even be a play to get another city to cough up $20 million - don't forget the fee is basically split amongst the current 30 teams - so $20 billion would be $666 million each.
The current teams want whoever pays the biggest fee to get the new team(s)
Not guarantee but probably 95% chance. Owners voted unanimously to start the bidding process for Vegas and Seattle only.mostonmike wrote: ↑Wed Mar 25, 2026 8:51 pmSupersonics is the coolest franchise name in the whole history of any of the major leagues.
