One of the members of Bring Back Our Sonics has passed away. I am so sorry to hear this news. Working with
@sonicsguy
over the years and getting to know Kris was a pleasure. He always told jokes and put a smile on my face. I’m sorry we didn’t get it done in time brother!

First, you left Ray Allen off the Sonics team. Second, whether OKC wants to admit it or not, we all know Kevin Durant would opt to play for the Sonics instead of the Thunder.

The Sonics are trending on Twitter again. Why? Well, it's likely because the Minnesota Timberwolves are up for sale. Are the Timberwolves coming to Seattle? No. But is it good that the Seattle fan base is so hungry for an

team they're eager for any possible team? Yes.

You’re going to take a lot of heat for this and yet you keep doing it. Here’s a solution, the

There were several factors in Seattle losing the Sonics, but so help me god, I will fight you if you ever try to tell me the Sonics left Seattle because nobody in Seattle supported the team. That is factually incorrect and an asinine statement. Educate yourself b4 you mouth off!

I can't believe he had the audacity to complain about losing superstars because of their unfair advantage of being in a small

Jeff Van Gundy on ESPN just now talking about the Pelicans fans in New Orleans “Very passive boos (towards Anthony Davis). And it just shows you that this fan base just isn’t passionate. And that’s why it’s a half empty arena too.”

Who could have ever foreseen this!? I mean, besides EVERYONE. Once their shiny new toy wasn’t as shiny or new anymore you knew they’d be the dregs of the league. Free Agents never want to go there. They’ll never win anything. Sell the team. Move them back to where they belong.
Just remembering today all those Oklahoma City fans who used to say we deserved to lose the Sonics over attendance. Feels quaint now.

I can't help but be annoyed that the owner of Starbucks sold the Sonics to OKC because he was a spoiled brat/couldn't get what he wanted. He sells the team away, ruins lives & childhoods. Then Starbucks returns and plasters their name & brand all over new Kraken & Storm buildings
