I have no problem with another team moving here as long as Chris Hansen is transparent about moving the team from the beginning. The reason why I feel robbed about the Sonics is Clay Bennett tried to claim he had no intention of moving the team, which we know was a lie. If Chris Hansen doesn't mislead anyone, I'm of the opinion its a different scenario than when the Sonics left Seattle.

I'm with you Paul. We just want a team back. If it comes at another city's expense, then yes, I'll feel bad. But I'd rather feel bad about taking a team while sitting in our gorgeous new arena than feel good while sitting in my house watching basketball on TV.

Shouldn't there be a third option here?
Like "Wouldn't be my first choice because I hate to see another fan base get its heart broken, but that's the rules of the game now and it's the only way to get a team back?"
