The Storm Are Now Seattle's Official Pro Basketball Team

The Sonics are officially gone. Clay Bennett and his fellow owners are paying Seattle $45M to immediately break their lease at Key Arena and move the team to Oklahoma City for the 2008 - 2009 season. Seattle keeps the name of the franchise.

And, with that, the Storm are now Seattle's official pro basketball team.

So long, Sonics. It's not the outcome a lot of people wanted, but it's the one we've all seen coming for a long, long time.
