I'm sold they are. The owners ARE from Oklahoma City.

Clay Bennett mentioned Las Vegas over Oklahoma City... before backtracking.
I'll put it to you this way: Bennett's number 1 choice for a market is Seattle.
That's not his first PRIORITY, however. The first priority is a rent free building with maximum revenue potential controlled by the Sonics. Key Arena isn't it. Oklahoma City has a newer arena with too few luxury suites. The money in Las Vegas does not respect the idea of the city funding an arena when the casinos already build them... and the casinos seem to cap their arenas at about 11,000 capacity for a reason (or a few million reasons).
Bennett will leverage everyone against everyone before this is all over.

The OKC fish wrap is convinced beyond ALL doubt he'll move the franchise to OKC.

My projection:
Oklahoma City: 74%
Stay in Seattle: 25%
Las Vegas: 1%

Staying in Seattle is out of the question now.
