Sonics' Poobahs Meet Tonight--Is Relocation on the Agenda?

Both the Associated Press and the Stranger's Erica C. Barnett report that the hydra-headed Sonics' ownership group (tete grande belonging to Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz) will meet tomorrow.

If relocation is on the agenda (Las Vegas and Oklahoma City are the Sonics' not-so-secret admirers), no one's admitting it. But we're willing to bet that someone's going to bring it up.

Here's what we hope they ask:

If an NBA team can't thrive in Seattle, one of the most affluent markets in the country, isn't that a problem with the NBA's business model? Why do we expect the people of Seattle, or Vegas, or OKC, to fix it?
