We have the colors, the Sonics name & the memories, but no team to attach them to. They have offically been moved to Oklahoma City bigtime bummer here in the PNW

That's a shame. I remember when the Hornets left Charlotte for New Orleans...horrible what some towns will pay to keep teams for a while, then have them leave with excuses of not making enough money. If the team wins, the fans will follow. It didn't help that George Shinn was a crook anyway.

I always liked watching the Sonics - love the green & gold colors - not the average bland uni colors of so many other teams.

I'm sorry for your loss! The Sonics are going to miss it there!

I used to love the rivalry between the Lakers and Sonics, when the Lakers had Nick Van Exel, Eddie Jones, Cedric Ceballos, and Vlade Divac, and the Sonics had Shawn Kemp, Gary Payton. It was always a great series when they meet in the playoffs.
