It's straight up extortion. As much as I hate OKC I never wanna see a city lose a team especially because of this bullshit.

No NBA team deserves to be moved more.

That being said, I can't say I wouldn't love to see the Thunder moved back to Seattle for ostensibly the same reason they left.

This IS the way. Would love for this outcome.

The owners are from Oklahoma. That’s not happening, imo. Plus this is going to pass anyways

It’s a true nothing burger. I still hate how it was perceived to be a good deal for the residents though.

Nothing related to MAPS has ever failed though

I would not like that at all.

We don't want Clay Bennett in Seattle.

As an A's fan, it is pure torture.

So not extortion?

Another tax base will pay for it. It’s called life.
