Seattle Int'l Beer Festival Ends at 7 p.m.
Clay Bennett and Greg Nickels talked today, and the upshot is that--a year and a day after buying the team, and only a few months after saying he was moving--Bennett wants to reopen talks about staying in Key Arena. So says Jim Brunner of the Seattle Times.

David Stern has seemed to cool on the idea of the Sonics moving, maybe the NBA doesn't want the Western Conference to be dominated by Oklahoma City, San Antonio and Portland for the next 10 years. Bennett can't move without Stern's support. Who knows.
Regardless, great news for Sonics fans. But after the passage of I-91 last year, it remains to be seen what, if anything, the city can do.

I know there's some kind of luxury box problem with the key (for the owner), but that place is great for watching basketball games. I'm hoping they don't let the Sonics back out of their contract through '10 there.
This is bullshit posturing. He just wants to give fans a shred of hope that the Sonics might stay so he can maximize ticket sales this season.
