- NBA Commissioner Adam Silver signaled on Thursday night that the NBA will turn to expansion as part of a process after reaching a media rights deal.
Seattle fans and elected officials have been cautiously watching every word from the commissioner since the Sonics left in 2008.
Silver has previously mentioned Seattle and Vegas as being near the top of the list of viable cities for expansion, especially since the opening of Climate Pledge Arena in 2021.

Yes please bring The Sonics back to Seattle! 💚💛
This better not be a joke !!!. I'm going to find my "Super Sonics" hat in my storage locker and wash it up and get ready to have a "Home" team back. I've been rooting for the "Clippers" but now I can root for the "Super Sonics".
Speaking of the Clippers, don't you wish Steve Ballmer bought the Sonics way back in 2006 instead of Bubba & co? That Intuit Dome will potentially be the greatest basketball arena yet.
What an interesting video! I wasn't expecting that twist.
Why supersonics were discountinued is beyond me they were a kool team
Finally.
Even though I was a Clipper/Laker fan, please bring back the Sonics!!!!
Bezos is gonna buy it big old AMAZON across the front LMFAO
That would be a joke
I have lived in Oregon for 23 years. But, I lived west of Seattle, in Belfair and Tahuya, for 14 1/2 years previously. I am loyal to all the Seattle teams: the Huskies; Seahawks; Sonics; Kraken; Sounders; and Mariners! Whenever I see any customers at work wearing non-Washington state team apparel, I give them a hard time and tell them, "we need to charge you 5% extra for wearing the wrong team apparel. I hope the Sonics come back soon!!!!
Next cities for an nba teams are seattle,las vegas,mexico city,london,paris,berlin,rome,
madrid,st louis,montreal,pittsburg,vancouver,kansascity,sandiego,tokio,shanghai,seoul sydney,mumbai,johannesburg,
Lagos,sao paulo
Eric Johnson needs to comeback to broadcasting. 😊 Not with KOMO. Because KOMO is 🗑️.
Imagine if unemployment and the homeless situation was focused on as much as sports teams. That's on G.P. my ninjas.
Unemployment is under 4%. That's a post COVID low. Do try to keep up/
@@markstocker5121 I also lived with a guy that sold Kemp and Payton weed. I'm part of NW history, you're part of climate change arena high hopes. Bourgeoissie delusions of intellectual fortitude. I see reality and vote Biden, you see fantasy world and vote Biden. Big difference.
Imagine living outside a city, talking negative about a city, on a video about the Sonics Return. Couldn’t be me.
@@misteriknow2069 Good luck with that pride thing buddy. Town and country USA talks shit because they're all caught up in baskeeeeeetballll players. Actually, more football/mma fans, again city and town, think they're part of a specific area and that they are somehow part of multi millionaires who could give a fuck where they are next season as long as they get paid. Where's the civic pride in that? Does it parlay? Probably too smart for you because I'm from Seattle and Chief Sealth's speech still rings more true than any newbie Tom Chambers lover.
What are you doing about it?
If this is true man can't wait to see a head to head matchup against the thunder.
❤
Its gonna mess up the 82 games format
Joe Biden is so excited for the Sonics to return to Seattle he crapped his pants.
Omg 40 yers ago I come from communism We lioved Sonic’s Glove 💋but one problem is Wa us a fascist state We need a new governator Black conservative Mr Samie Bird 🇱🇷🇱🇷
They lost their chance
How? There’s a legit process going on
Not one red cent to the NBA. You stood by and allowed your players to take a knee and not stand for the national anthem! I will not forget.
You have the right to do what you want in this country. We fight for freedom. You sound unamerican
Give new cities a chance. This one already had low attendance that partially lead to the loss of their team.
Wrong. The team wanted a new arena after they were given one ten years earlier. The city balked so Howard Schultz sold the team to the Okies.
Attendance was only a problem when it was clear the team was leaving.
Your team left because you didn't love them enough. I dont know why anyone would want to bring an NBA team to crime filled cesspool like Seattle anyways.
Still trolling Seattle articles? Guess there's not much to do in OKC. Too bad your Thunder lost the first round.
Seattle is a dump. Put it in Kansas city .
Certain cities are a dump but still won’t stop them from getting a pro sports teams
Put a team in STL
KC is a dump
@Tony-so1zl Seattle is an even bigger dump. Bums and junkies passed out on the streets everywhere. The results of decades of woke liberal marxists policies.
@@Tony-so1zl what about STL?
