"Clay Bennett's leaving a half-empty arena with a crummy lease in Seattle and replacing it with a sold out building in Oklahoma City where he's keeping all the revenues is a dramatic improvement for that franchise," Kurt Badenhausen, one of the authors of the report, said of the Thunder, who rank 24th at $300 million, up 12 percent from a year earlier.

Funny stuff. And as Garrett reports: This cannot be written by an OKC resident. It has to be a disgruntled Seattle fan. However, the comments indicate that the people reading it believe...

I'm guessing that when Clay Bennett drew up the outline for how things would go in his triumphant return to Oklahoma City this season, it was quite dissimilar to the way the actual story has gone. Following a Friday night loss to the Hornets which put the Thunder's record at 1-12, wundersenior PJ Carlesimo was sent packing in what was surely his final opportunity at coaching an NBA team....

A lot has been written about Clay Bennett, Oklahoma City, and the demise of NBA basketball in Seattle. But there have also been all kinds of gaps in the story (for instance, did you know that the whole process was touched off by a phone call from David Stern to Clay Bennett, who was standing in a janitor's closet as they spoke?). Many of those gaps are filled by a remarkable...
