    NBA Board votes 28-2

    In support of the Sonics move to OKC.

    In other news, Clay Bennett was pretty clear that the team will be named something else and it will be called, The Oklahoma City _______ as opposed to the Oklahoma ________.

    Yay, cheers.

    They will be so good if they can add Derrick Rose this year to go along with Jeff Green and Kevin Durant.

    Funny that Mark Cuban (Dallas Maverics) voted against it. I gues our little market will, in fact put a dent in his bottom line.

    Why Portland voted against, I have no idea. It's only 1.5 hour drive from Seattle to Portland, so the Blazers will get another huge market to pull fans from.

    Yeah, sure. Thanks for playing though.

    I'm just so goddamn happy we didn't end up with some Bull**** NHL team a few years ago.

    Exactly, they've said he's concerned about it being in a smaller market, but I think the only thing he's concerned about is losing Oklahoma's maverics fans to an OKC team. I don't like the guy too much, so if someone was going to vote against it I'm glad it's him.

    They speculated on the SA yesterday that it was because Paul Allen owns the Blazers and he lives, works(?) and got rich in Seattle. I'm sure it was a PR vote on his part.

    Besides taking away from Dallas' market, Cuban always likes to oppose league issues such as relocations. Still love the kid, though.

    Paul Allen voted no, not only because of the PDX-SEA rivalry, but because of his relationship with Steve Ballmer (fellow Microsoft dude) who tried to put together a last ditch effort to buy the team from PBC, LLC.

    What are the possibilities that they would play a few games each season in Tulsa at the new BOK center?

    Re: NBA Board votes 28-2

    Paul Allen owns the Seattle Seahawks, so voting against the city of Seattle would cause him problems.

    The lease w/ OKC prohibits regular season games being played outside the city, so a split schedule w/ Tulsa won't happen.

    r5tp- how does the Ford Center sitting empty 41 nights a year stimulate economic growth? What kind of property taxes do you think Durant, Collison, Presti, etc. will pay? Don't miss the forest for the trees on this.

    that's kind of how i meant it. like when Joe C. and Deloss Dodds wrangle with the Cotton Bowl and the City of Dallas. but, i could certainly be wrong.

    I think it will happen and would be smart. I think 2-3 games a year would be appropriate. After all, this is the state's team, not OKC's.
