Unsubstantiated Rumor Watch: Will the Sonics be Saved Tomorrow?

Seattle city leaders will soon announce a plan to keep the Sonics in town, according to SupersonicSoul's Paul Merrill:

Several sources close to the situation (who, for some reason, felt they could confide in Supersonicsoul, aka Queen Blabbermouth) have claimed that the city may be soon unleashing a new plan to save our Sonics...According to my Deep Throats, the announcement could come as early as tomorrow.

Merrill provides no additional details about the alleged plan. Recent speculation has centered around the hope that Steve Ballmer or some other well-heeled fan would buy the Sonics to keep them in town, like the four women who bought the Storm did.
