Rumored Sonics Arena Deal is Bogus

Slog posted a link to this rumored deal between the Sonics and the Muckleshoot Indians to build an arena in Seattle.

Our non-sports friends are wondering if it's true. It's not.

Didn't smell right to us (arena deals don't happen overnight--local government has to get involved, and someone would've said something, and, besides, we all know that the owners want to go to OKC) , so we didn't post it and, as it turns out, the rumor is false.

A blog reader who works at a local media outlet says they checked it out and found nothing, and SonicsCentral has posted this news of unofficial denials by both the Sonics and the Muckleshoots.

And it's too bad! I thought it sounded like an interesting idea.
