It's Time For The NBA To Bring Back The Seattle Sonics

The Seattle Sonics haven't played a game since April of 2008... It's been over 16 years now. It sounds like it's not possible but it's the truth. 

The NBA is nearing a possible expansion and the Seattle Sonics will be on the top of that list. If somehow the NBA decides to NOT bring the Sonics back, it would be a crime. 

As a 30 year old Seattle sports lover, it's crazy to think I was 14 years old the last time I got to use families season tickets to go attend a game. I was at that final game ever, and it feels like a different lifetime ago. 

Adam Silver, in speaking to reporters at the NBA's Summer League in Las Vegas, identified this fall as the time when he and the league's executives and owners will consider expansion and whether cities like Seattle could get a new team.

“I think we will engage this fall, in earnest, in the process of making those determinations — should we expand and if we were to expand, how many teams should we expand,” Silver said Tuesday (h/t Associated Press).

Personally, I can't wait for the day, and I hope it happens as soon as they say it will.
