Seattle Sonics Blog:
Can some rich, overpaid Seattleite please buy this team back?
Howard Shultz, thanks for screwing all this up by selling this team...I will NEVER go to another Starbucks again. I hope everyone else follows this viewpoint. Can you say, Seattle's Best Coffee?
Bennett, just because your fat a$$ is still bitter over the UW Oklahoma football game in the Orange Bowl, doesn't mean you can come into Seattle and screw everything up. GET OUT and go pick corn you tool.
Let's be honest people and find out exactly what is going on here. ANY NBA team is not technically losing money as Bennett claims. He's still making money, just not as much as the NBA owners are with the 3 level skybox arena's. So, we know that. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with key arena other than it does not have six gazillion luxury boxes.
GET OUT OF SEATTLE BENNETT!!! GO HOME TO YOUR LAME TOWN!!!

Yeah, he's getting out of town alright. Getting out of town with our sonics - just like he intended from day one. Yeah, Shultz should have entertained more offers when he sold. I tell you what though, I blame Wally Walker for wrecking the Sonics. That dumb bastard hurt the Sonics more than everyone else in Sonics history combined. Loser.
I agree Key Arena is fine for NBA action. Bennett has used it as a red herring to distract from the fact that he and his group never intended to keep the Sonics in Seattle in the first place.
The Key Arena is the worst basketball venue in the U.S. The only one that is close to being as bad is Arco in Sacramento and the Maloofs are threatening to move if they don't get a new arena.
Ownership has a legitimate beef over the arena, but they can't expect to be given everything on the taxpayers dime.
The "worst" basketball venue in the US? It may be one of the smallest, and it doesn't have the luxury boxes that the owner craves. But it actually is a fantastic place to watch a game. You are right on top of the action.
As for choosing Seattle's Best Coffee as a Starbuck's alternative... I hate to tell you this, but Starbuck's owns SBC and has for the past 4 years. So I suggest Tully's or even better, all of the small local coffee shops dotting Seattle's neighborhoods.
