"Can't Seattle Keep The Storm?"

ESPN.com has a column ("Can't Seattle Keep The Storm?") that's worth a read:

Frankly, I don't think the Sonics are moving. I've listened to ownership threats for most of my life, and they're rarely more than threats. Clay Bennett is a two-faced carpetbagger of the lowest kind -- in other words, a typical team owner -- but the NBA's ratings are too low for the league to allow him to move the Sonics from the country's 12th-largest market to the 44th. And even if the Sonics were to move, the decision probably would occur too late to move the Storm before next season anyway.

There is a substantial, loyal fan base for women's basketball in Seattle, and the Storm's fate shouldn't be chained to the Sonics and a snake of an owner. It's time for a divorce.

Uh, what he said.
