the taxpayers shouldn't be footing that bill. okc needs to open up ownership and find a wealthy donor to help fund the cost of the new arena.
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.
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.
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.
And this time with those sweet sweet draft picks
Come to daddy
We don't want Clay Bennett in Seattle.
This IS the way. Would love for this outcome.
As an A's fan, it is pure torture.
No NBA team deserves to be moved more.
So not extortion?
Another tax base will pay for it. It’s called life.
