| Well, what can I say? There's all this speculation that the Sonics will
move out of here - to go to greener pastures... or in this case browner
ones. Oklahoma City? This team of buyers just bought out the Sonics
from Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz today, officially. Why did he sell to
a non-local team? That's blasphemy. I do understand that its a
business, and he's gotta do what he's gotta do, but for the sake of
faith, he made a mistake buying the team, ruining it, and then to sell
it to an unknown? That's, well... i dont know. I'm sad.
I sort
of wished the Ackersley group never sold this team away to Starbucks
mogul Schultz. First off, his coffee company smells like rat's anus.
They switched to an automated espresso pulling system that sucks the
flavor, density, and goodness out of coffee, and then brainwashed
citizens into drinking this crapiness thing thats no better than
putting 75 cents into a vending machine and seeing coffee magically
drip out of a tap. Argh! ok. So he buys the Sonics and instead of
firing Wally Walker as GM, he freakin promotes him to President and
then goes off and hires mr crappy Rick Sund to be our new GM. Serenity
now! The team got super lucky having Nate McMillan as coach, someone
who can earn respect of overpaid cry babies and then what do the Sonics
do next? Drive him away. Plus they get rid of every freakin' draft pick
that was ever good and replace them buy drafting players like Johan
Petro and Robert Swift (serenity now). If Sene wasn't having such a
good summer league, i'd be even more pissed off.
Anyway, Schultz
took over an aging yet still wholesome Sonics team, revamped it and
brought it sinking to the ocean, with one somewhat fluke season under
Mr Sonic. It sounds alot like the story of the Mariners. How well have
they done since getting rid of Pat Gillick, Lou Pinella, etc.? Ya.
So in conclusion, get ready for the Seattle Super Sonics of Oklahoma City in 2008!
Let's
be optimistic for a second... maybe this new ownership will be good for
Seattle. Maybe they won't care so much for a new arena because they
realize Key Arena is quite fine for a basketball game. I mean, really,
it's just a basketball game. Maybe they want a new arena but aren't
forcing the entire city of Seattle to pay for all of it -- maybe they
realize that Seattle has other issues to worry about such as the light
rail system, the viaduct, the floating bridges, the homeless and
unemployed, and countless other major problems. Maybe they'll stay in
Seattle, fire Wally Walker, Rick Sund, and then go out and revitalize
this team with a player or two with some spark of energy and some
attitude -- someone not afraid to cut and slash through the lane -- not
all of these perimeter players who just cuddle outside the key and shot
jumpshots til all of eternity... I play that way, and i know that's no
way to win a game.
Just maybe... they'll make some right moves. | | |
| This is Rick Sund, GM of the Sonics, and our newest draft pick:
What the hell is wrong with the Sonics?
