Fact is I'm not really sure. Probably won't know until it actually happens. When they left I felt like I'd been lied to by Clay Bennett, even though intellectually I knew when Howard sold to an out of town owner they were probably going to leave. I'm sure the people in Sacto feel like they've been lied to by the Maloof's. Heck, when it comes to the Maloof's if I shook their hand I'd count my fingers afterwards. I'll believe the deal is done when I see a press conference, not just a few tweets or texts with no real attribution, just "sources say". But moving this particular franchise isn't anything new. Sacramento got them from Kansas City, and I think Kansas City got them from elsewhere (Cincinnatti?) but I haven't looked it up.
What I really don't know is how long it will take me to think of them as the Sonics. I still feel like OKC is the Sonics, because of the players still on the roster that played here.
