They owner was losing a lot of money with a team that had a terrible lease in a crappy arena, and he sold the organization to a billionaire from a city that had fantastic attendance while hosting a transplant team from another area. What did he think was going to happen? Seattle isn't getting robbed. They barely even supported the team when the whole S.O.S movement needed them the most. The fans in Seattle knew the damn S.O.S. never had a chance because this whole abomination is being orchestrated by David Stern. Why should they have a 'movement' (what are they gonna do, sell out the arena for a team they know is moving?) when they know nothing will change? Stern should be ashamed of himself. No one would stop talking about how wonderful KeyArena is when it opened, now it doesn't meet NBA standards? It's a damn travesty.
