That would be like "the racial justice committee headed by neighborhood watch chief George Zimmerman"!!! Before Bennett stole the Sonics from Seattle, he tried to sink his hooks into the New Orleans Hornets -- right after Katrina!!

Seattle? Seems like they couldn't get a new arena up there either.

despite the Mariners' objections, a multi-use arena deal is still quite possible, and only really hinges on securing at least one team before it can be finalized. Hansen has also committed to putting up the money for an assessment on possible traffic issues.

They won't build unless a team comes and judging from the financing, the team would pay over 60% of the costs and it would have to meet Prop 91, which states that the city must turn a profit on a sports facility finance. Something the Maloofs won't go for considering they already backed down from a deal they previously agreed to because it didn't have enough public funding.

Probably won't be Seattle but there are always cities more than willing to foot the bill, which is what makes these shakedowns effective. Kansas City already has a state-of-the-art arena built so there is at-least one option.
