Oklahomo wants its team, almost as much as Seattle does

In a surprise move, Oklahomo City officials have sent a nine page letter to Howard Schultz informing him, that no matter who owns the team, they expect them to play in the Ford Center. Frankly, I believe this is 3-1 in Seattle's favor as far as lawsuits go. No matter the score, Oklahoromones need to know this:
A: You don't deserve a team, you're the 45th largest market so go away stupid.
B: If Schultz reclaims ownership of the team, there is no way in hell they will move to your city, because your city sucks, and ours is mannnnnnnn!
C: Anyone who gives a rats ass about the NBA outside of Oklahoma is against the Sonics playing there, because the manner in which you are ripping this team out of a supporting city shows no sign of class or grace.
D: Without the SuperSonics, Ice Cube might not have penned this great line in his masterpiece "It was a good day"
It's ironic, I had the brew she had the chronic The Lakers beat the Supersonics

Now, moving on... one quote I would like to hi lite is this, coming from no other than (I'm not joking) Wiley Williams on behalf of Mayor Mick Cornett:
"We expect that any subsequent owner or owners would join hands with the city, and its citizens, and honor the OKC NBA agreements, made in good faith [emphasis mine], and perform as good corporate neighbors to make NBA basketball a success in Oklahoma City"

The audacity to even mention the term "good faith" when Clay Bennett all but promised to bring you a team back in 2006 while at the same time signing a contract pledging to give his best effort to keep the team in Seattle (and boy, he must have been happier than Bing Crosby tap-dancing with Danny fucking Kaye when Seattle rejected the shitty plans he had come up with) is a bit two-faced in my honest opinion. If Clay did not agree to keep the team in Seattle when signing the contract, Howard would have sold to a group in Sacramento which was offering him a better deal in the first place. Just because David Stern has no regard for the people of Seattle, doesnt mean Clay Bennett doesnt have to either.

How dare Wiley speak of good faith, when we have gotten none. Schultz sold the team, and we hate him for that, but we have not gotten an ounce of respect from Commissioner Stern, and if we win this thing in court, sue us, we dont give a shit. I hope we win, so we can wipe our asses with your 15 year lease, and laugh about words like good faith, because they mean about as much to Clay Bennett as Oklahoma City means to the NBA.

However, it is really touching that your city overwhelmingly approved a $120 million tax package to upgrade the Ford Center to world class standards, and signed a lease with bastard-interim owner Clay Bennett, but in my opinion- if he is forced to rescind ownership, than the ink has yet to dry on your contract.
