“As with the Seattle Storm, I am committed to keeping an NBA team in Seattle, and I want that team to be the Sonics. The current team owner, Clay Bennett, indicated to me that he will not sell the team. That does not mean that we should give up. I am continuing to work with community stakeholders, local officials and the Legislature to explore options for the future.”
