I had to Google GP's age to see that is, in fact, true.
FUCK.

Petros told Softy they’re trying to move to Vegas and got no return comment from him yesterday

17 years is a lot longer than anyone thought it would be. Considering the franchise was 41 years at the time, kind of wild it's about the half way mark. There is still interest, but that carrots been dangling out there so long, its now moldy, dry and about to fall off of the string.

The Sonics were my favorite for most of the 41 years. I was getting tired of the bullshit but would have stuck around for Durant and the rest that lost to LeBron in the Finals way back when. The whole arena thing is fucking retarded. Either build your own or take what the taxpayers give you and like it

Sonics played against all these guys
Jabbar. Wilt. West. Oscar

The NBA is closer to contraction than they are expansion. Ratings are at all time lows, the product stinks, and people are sick of “load management”. The only good thing the NBA has done in the last 15 years is to saddle ESPN with the worst television deal of all time. Now maybe we can get two sinking ships and get real networks like NBC, CBS, and Fox taking the reins.

Yeah I don't really know how these things work but at some point the part-owner type of contracts and cringe messaging that the players send to fans with all their bullshit, as if they're just celebrities that jack up a 3 instead of starring in movies, that seems like that isn't going to be fixed until the league is truly a sport that 3-6 major cities care about, like baseball.
At some point the money just isn't there and moving the team to a bigger market will only hurt the product more. Not sure how long that's going to take.
Silver absolutely needs to go at this point. His ideas have all been not just gay, but also retarded.

Indeed. I'd rather watch the NBA on TNT crew shoot the shit for 2 hours than watch a full NBA game.
My college-age sons still love the NBA, but I think it's more about nostalgia than actually liking the product.
They agree that the game has been "solved" with analytics, and without significant rule changes it will remain a three-point and layup/dunk contest.

Jabbar was probably Lou in that photo
