Clay Bennett owns the SuperSonics name and logo, but under the settlement, agreed to turn it over to a new Seattle owner at no cost.

This is great, the city deserves to have a team back, having one in Sacto was a collosal mistake from the beginning.

@largesteven: Source: Seattle groups offer was rejected by Maloofs. Hmmm. Plot thickening by the minute.

What I know about the Kings-to-Seattle story at this point: sources say the Maloofs are getting back into the
liquor business and the only way for them to do that is to sell the Kings, their last asset of any worth. The Maloofs, of course, had beverage distributorships in Colorado and New Mexico but sold them to try -- futilely -- to keep their Las Vegas hotel casino, The Palms, afloat. Separate sources say that putting a team back in Seattle is at the top of David Stern's bucket list as NBA commissioner and, as we know, David invariably gets what he wants. The Maloofs reversed field once before, on a deal that would've kept the team in Sacramento, but sources say the terms of that deal were negotiated by Stern and that the Maloofs backed out because the terms weren't the ones they specified they had to have. <time class="light_text tiny_text timeago no_wrapping" datetime="2013-01-09 21:18:18+00:00" data-timestamp="1357766298" style="font-size: 15px; color: rgb(173, 173, 173); white-space: nowrap;">4 minutes ago</time>

Good riddance, Sac has been a living corpse of a team for 5+ years.
