Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Monday, April 10, 2006

The Storm, and the Sonics, are up for sale. Lead owner Howard Schultz says the current owners won't move the teams, but new owners might. Board Junkies panic, debate preferred locales.

Why sell? The KeyArena deal is notably unfavorable to the teams, and the owners haven't been able to get the subsidies they want from the city or state: it looks like they'll keep trying, even as they also look for buyers. Another possibility: a new venue in Bellevue, Washington-- which that city would have to build first.

Do Storm fans support the deal Schultz wants? If not, what do they think ought to happen?
