Sonics to OKC?

The group that purchased the Seattle Supersonics wants to try to move the team to Oklahoma City, but actually make more money if they stay in the northwest. This what Aubrey McClendon, chief executive of Chesapeake Energy said about the plan: "but we didn't buy the team to keep it in Seattle; we hoped to come here," "We know it's a little more difficult financially here in Oklahoma City, but we think it's great for the community and if we could break even, we'd be thrilled." There was an agreement for a new arena in Seattle, though, and a deadline for it set by the majority owner Clay Bennett. McClendon said then, that they have 60 days to make a decision on the matter.
