6 months, 2 years, 5 years, 10 years ...
The biggest question facing the City of Seattle as it battles the NBA over the Seattle Supersonics possible relocation to Oklahoma City is not whether we will have a team in 6 months or in 2 years ... but whether we will have a team in 5 years or in 10 years ...
It is very important to not lose sight of the big picture and win a battle but lose the war ...
David Stern is a stubborn @$$ ... if he gets mad enough he is likely stubborn enough to prevent a new team in Seattle for as long as he rules the roost ...
So ... whatever the outcome of the lease trial, the fan lawsuit, or the breach of contract suit ... the bottom line is that all outcomes must lead to and fascilitate a team to be here 5 or 10 years from now, not simply the next season or two ...
I simply cannot believe that the NBA is willing to risk the outcome of these trials ... the precedents that would be set by the lease win, the Schultz suit, or the fan suit have very severe repercussions for the NBA and other sports leagues ... it really is in the best interest of the NBA to get this settled ... and by settled I mean to find a way to have a Seattle Supersonics playing in Seattle for the long term ...
If it is necessary to take a cash settlement in order to secure a franchise ... even a franchise after a few years of not having a team ... that would be worth it ...
