look like it from wikipedia he’s tried before
In 2012, a group of investors came forward with a plan to build a new arena in Seattle’s SoDo neighborhood. The investors hope to revive the SuperSonics name and archives.[3] On October 15, 2012, the King County Council voted unanimously in favor; while the Seattle City Council voted 7-2 to approve the amended SoDo multipurpose arena proposal.[4] On January 9, 2013, media reports documented advanced negotiations for the sale of the Sacramento Kings to Seattle investors led by hedge fund manager Chris Hansen and Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, intent on relocating the franchise to Seattle as early as the 2013–14 NBA season.[5][6][7][8][9] On January 11, 2013, NBA reporter Matt Steinmetz reported the Kings had been sold for $525 million to the Seattle group, with both parties and the NBA subsequently declining comment.[10][11]

I would rather the Clippers go to Seattle than Ballmer come to LA. ::: shudder :::

Yes, and he'll rename the team to be the "MICROSOFT CLIPPYS"!
