Hmmm. This makes me nervous. However. The most logical team to move to Seattle is the Clippers. They are presently the little brothers in their own building which they share with the Lakers AND they are owned by a Microsoft billionaire who lives in Washington. The Clippers brand in the NBA is marginal at best, and downright negative at worst. They move to Seattle and become the new Sonics and everything is fresh and new.

It's just ridiculous that Seattle hasn't had an NBA team for a decade.

I think they add an expansion team there in the next 5 years. Seattle and Vegas, outside shot at Mexico City. Move Memphis or Minny to the east.

Still. I think they move the Clippers to Seattle. Expand back to LA or Vegas. Ballmer has money to burn. The rest of the owners can profit from moving fees and expansion fees.

It just makes sense to move the Clippers to Seattle. LA doesn't need two teams. I wouldn't be surprised if that has been Ballmer's plan all along.

Clippers have always been a SoCal team. Move the Lakers. To Boise.
