Regardless of what you think of the Sonics' situation, this quote is funny.
Quoted: "They already have a place to play. It's nice. There are no potholes in the court there. Every player has health care. They all had the opportunity to go to college. Let's get real here," Chopp told the Seattle Times editorial board. "If they want to [build a new arena], we're not stopping them. They can pay for it themselves."

A Seattle team axes the head coach and GM, but it ain't the M's (yet).
Quoted: The Seattle SuperSonics began overhauling their basketball operations on Tuesday, firing head coach Bob Hill and removing Rick Sund as general manager following one of the worst seasons in franchise history. Seattle went 31-51 in Hill's only full season as head coach, the Sonics' worst record since they finished with an identical mark in 1985-86. - National Basketball Association news

Sabermetrics for basketball! I was just thinking about this the other day. Good stuff.
Quoted: What the non-scorers do matters, and in fact, it is those players who might ultimately decide who gets to be crowned N.B.A. champions.

Oh snap, Cuban for the win.
Quoted: Implying that I can have more influence on the outcome of a game than his coaching skills. I wish. But if Phil wants to this so, I'm fine with that. That's what happens when you own someone, they can't get you out of their head, and they don't often think, speak or act rationally.
