Seattle Deserves Sonics

Aubrey McClendon: “We didn't buy the team to keep it in Seattle; we hoped to come here. We know it's a little more difficult financially here in Oklahoma City, but we think it's great for the community and if we could break even, we'd be thrilled.”

On Thursday, McLendon was fined $250,000. The NBA’s punishment was appropriate. Seattle is a marquee city. The Sonics have declined. However, the fans are not responsible. They should not be penalized.
