Are The Storm Staying?

The News Tribune has a bit this morning about the Storm's search for a new coach ("Jackson’s approval key for new coach"):

And that person will have WNBA experience, which is considered crucial since the Storm has four players, including reigning league MVP Lauren Jackson, under contract for next season. That means the team will have to make decisions on adding eight players based on last summer’s 12-player roster.

But the most interesting piece of news is the second-to-last paragraph:

"(Bennett) hasn’t used those exact words, but what he has said is when he files for relocation with the NBA, it’s not going to include the Storm and that in the meantime he is pursuing alternate outcomes for the Storm," Bryant said.

Translation: we might be keeping the Storm in Seattle - and, if I'm guessing correctly, Bennett will use the team as a concession to the city during negotiations.

(Tip of the hat to Women's Hoops Blog!)
