I'm not surprised. In fact, I'll betca that the the owners and city will reach an agreement to end the lease a year early and the NBA will approve a move to Oklahoma City where I am before the 2007-08 since nobody wants a lame duck season there.
BTW, I think it's a bad move. After the novelty wears off after 2-3 seasons, attendance here will drop.

Just heard about this. I'm still not sold on them moving to OKC for obvious reasons. I wonder what all the options are for them in regards to city's they may move to??? Hmm...

Okay, now that may be the only thing to get them to move them to OKC!
Latest news:
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.
