So, why is the owner trying to make the city...

Thanks to the Sports Guy, there has been lots of hullabaloo (that's right, hullabaloo) lately over the Sonics situation. If you read the the letters, most fans tend to focus on one of a few things:

* Railing against the practice of teams extorting cities...

The new Cavs don't complain about their position, Larry. They seem to enjoy playing with the best player in the world.
