The Thunder left their records behind?

 

As part of the deal to allow Bennett to steal away the team a couple years early (they still had a contractual lease on Key Arena), the city of Seattle retained rights to the name Supersonics, the colors, the logo and they agreed to "share" the franchise history up until that point.

I'm totally ok with name, the colors, the logo. Sharing "history" just gets my panties in a bundle, and i dont have any! You cant just "leave" history behind. History is linear. you cant have a history that pre-dates your existence! If I change my name, someone cant change their name to my old name and be magically married ot my wife and have claim over my children.

Watch this scenario happen next year:

 

Sonics have #1 pick.

 

Opening night: Thunder at Sonics

 

Kemp, Payton get their #s retired in addition to all the old Sonics retired numbers.

That has me thinking. I need to find some connections to the opening night game. Time to schmooze our external auditors.

Doesn't seem like a great year to have a #1 pick, albeit it's early.

Hamilton's portion of any rotation just looks horrendous. He needs to be bought out. Marco and Nasty Nate are both providing really nice pop. The offense just flows and is more confident when Marco is out there vs. Rip.

 

I do not find it coincidence that the team is playing with a fire up their ass since Rose started practicing and traveling with them. They've been a blast to watch.

Does last night mean he had a setback?

Well-played.

 

In seriousness, last night's game was frustrating. It's time for Joakim Noah to eliminate the 18-foot jumper from his repertoire and get back to shooting 50% in some games. The team had a chance late, but Nasty Nate was out of control, and Marco missed a couple wide open 3's.

 

That was a s***ty time to catch the Bucks.

Oden getting ready to start his comeback. I'd love for the Bulls to take a shot at him. The odds aren't great, but the upside is massive.

There's no reason to waste cap room on him, he's a cripple.

That and I would guess some crappy team will give him an MLE-level contract, not worth it unless by some miracle he's 100% healthy.

After this much time and that many procedures and opinions there is no way he will ever be healthy even at his still young age.

ESPN wrote that article, so of course they said Miami, but in the same article they pretty much pointed out that it'd be impossible for Miami to afford it and it likely won't be them.
