Like anyone cares about hockey up there. They want the Supersonics back and they will never be an NBA town again. The NBA, like MLB, doesn’t want those massively long flights up there. 2,500 miles or so from any other team. Nobody wants that. SF is the closest team in baseball from the Mariners and they ain’t even in the same league.
Yeah, yeah, I know they are closer, but that is what it feels like, as SF and Denver are the closest, along with the A’s, and it is forever to travel up there.
