Supreme Commander Stern drops hints about basketball returning to Seattle


Trust I*Heart*Celtics on This One Folks, He's Still Full of S***

From the Seattle P-I:

A new plan to divert a portion of hotel-tax money from the state convention center to a remodel of KeyArena could help Seattle begin pursuing a replacement NBA team as soon as 2010.

NBA Commissioner David Stern said Thursday "positive" talks have gone on between the league and a potential ownership group headed by Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer, who led an ill-fated plan to save the Sonics earlier this year.


Good news? Not quite, but better this than nothing. Count on Stern to paint himself as the double hero- the man that brought basketball to the oft-neglected market of Oklahoma City(!) and also the man that brought basketball back to Seattle.
