Seattle didn’t just lose a basketball icon. We lost a man who believed in people — on the court and in the community. Thank you, Lenny Wilkens, for everything you gave this city. 💚💛

The NBA announced they are to conduct an “in-depth analysis of all the issues around expansion.” That’s a step — and steps matter. And when they look at Seattle, they’ll find everything they’re looking for. #SeattleIsReady

The NBA’s Board of Governors will meet in Las Vegas today. And expansion will be among the discussion items on the agenda. But the league’s new media rights deal may be slowing momentum to add two new teams. With @MikeVorkunov, in @TheAthletic: https://t.co/tMDfrOeBmO

Tonight, of all nights, is a great night to remind ppl of how Seattle got robbed of its basketball team. The main culprits were spineless, gutless pansy politicians and an "owner" who shit all over a city that helped make him a billionaire. Let the @Sonicsgate story be told all
