Like the large-scale divorce it is, Seattle and Oklahoma City have divvied up the personal artifacts and furniture once associated with the Seattle Supersonics. We get to keep the trophies, championship banners and retired jerseys--which will be kept and shown at the MOHAI. Oklahoma City and the Thunder (or whatever the team will be called) has been awarded some CDs, a flat screen TV, a basketball inflater, and a replay monitor. For once in this......

Seattle SuperSonics 1967-2008.......

Our Boston siblings brought our attention to yet another oddity in the Seattle Sonics saga. From our own paper, mind you: "For months, a Boston-area woman thought she was dating a Sonics front-office employee and former NBA player named Jeff Turner, a handsome, 6-foot-8 40-something who was polite, compassionate and respectful." But, of course, it was a flim flam and the aptly named Ronnie Craven was revealed to be neither Jeff Turner nor a......

"Welcome to Oklahoma" by Flickr Contributor idswart Just doesn't have the same ring to it. But NBA owners went ahead and approved the request to move the Sonics to Oklahoma. They supported the move overwhelmingly, with a 28-2 vote. We never thought we'd say this in an unsarcastic manner, but thanks, Paul Allen and Mark Cuban. They cast the lone nay votes. Guess that Oklahoma City website that listed the Sonics as a "local team"......

Great news for Seattle Storm fans broke last night: Sonics owner Clay Bennett will sell the WNBA team to a local ownership group. That group hasn't yet been identified, but we'll find out who they are at an 11am news conference today. Bennett had said he wasn't going to separate the Sonics and Storm. Why'd he change his mind? Brian Robinson of SonicsCentral and Save Our Sonics speculates: "In general I think the 'divide and......

We'd held out hope that, seeing as how the Oklahoma City-based owners of the Sonics flat out admitted they never intended to keep them here, that NBA commissioner David Stern would use his influence to throw the suckers out and find local ownership in Seattle. Looks like that isn't going to happen. Stern has given up on us. As he told reporters yesterday:Miracles can always happen, and I'm an optimist by nature, but that optimism......

ESPN's Page Two calls the Sonics' 1987 pick of Scottie Pippen #34 on their list of the 100 worst draft picks of all-time...sort of. 34. Scottie Pippen, Seattle Sonics (No. 5, 1987) Wait ... Scottie Pippen was a great choice! ... except the Sonics (who had acquired the pick from the Knicks for Gerald Henderson) had a deal with the Bulls for the No. 8 pick: They would draft Pippen and trade him to......

Seattlest wishes you a Happy Easter Sunday and in the spirit of the holiday we'd like to pass along two Easter food links from opposite ends of the, uh, civilization scale. ">See Seattest Kate on her home turf investigating the high pleasures of chocolate. ">Then indulge in the low brow culinary stylings of Jake at Gothamist. We know you've seen all of this stuff before (because you read Seattlest every day, right?), but some......
