Stop public subsidies of sports teams. Either get the teams to pay their own way, or don’t pay players, coaches, etc. ridiculous amounts of money. Thank god Seattle voted out the freeloaders.

I think they at least deserve a chance with new ownership, yeah. They’ve been cheated. And I’m not even a fan! :P

So is it worth trying to salvage the team?

Bennett was instrumental in making sure people formed opinions just like yours – he traded away the team’s top players (Allen, Lewis) for almost nothing in return, thereby making his case for "starting anew" even stronger in his eyes. The season was all but tanked because of Bennett and McLendon’s bullshit business decisions.

No way, take the Sonics and go! The team’s performance the last two seasons has been deplorable at best, downright embarrassing at worst.
