Too little, too late. The Sonics are now owned by an Oklahoman and the county of Oklahoma just passed a vote to allow for use of an existing one cent sales tax to upgrade their area further for basketball. Not too mention the New Orleans Hornets spent two seasons there and actually made money as opposed to what they are experiencing now. It's a tough pill to swallow when owners demand better facilities but Oklahoma has already taken the medicine and is awaiting the effects.

I hope they move to a city where they can be the Super Sonics again and don't have to put up with a lot of PC, BS.
