Billionaire Willie Lewis announces plans for 'Sonics Arena'; Approaches Stern for expansion team
Willie Lewis, a billionaire from Texas has unveiled his plans for what is currently being called 'Operation SOS'.

In this plan, Lewis has planned out an arena for a future expansion team. He claims that the stadium began construction in early 2009, but had not been announced until today. Lewis says that this is step one for plan 'SOS'.

"My first step, is to get this stadium planned out. My second step is to get an NBA team and either A, move them to Seattle, or to make an expansion team"

Lewis plans say that the new expansion team will play in Key Arena. Then after playing 1 season in Key, they will move to Sonics Arena, which is expected to be like the Amway Center in downtown Orlando.

When asked about which team he was thinking about contacting about a move, he responded quickly.

"I have 5 teams in my mind, and if 1 of those teams accepts, then they will move in to Seattle."

Clay Bennett has told Oklahoma City fans not to worry.

"I will fight for this team to stay in OKC. Even if it takes me to court, I will fight against this coward. He wants to take a team from OKC? Well, we won't let him that easily."

Lewis responded, "Poor bitch, looks like OKC can watch college basketball. Clay Satin Bennett can go suck his thumb, wondering why his plan to take the Sonics from Seattle failed in 3 years."

THE 5 TEAMS MOST LIKELY TO RELOCATE TO SEATTLE
by Bill Wright, Seattle Times Journalist

The Seattle area is excited this year. With Willie Lewis leading the chance for a NBA team to relocate to Seattle, here are the 5 teams he will attempt to sway them to move to Seattle.

1. Oklahoma City Thunder


Yes, I know that Mr. Clay Satin Bennett said he would fight for this team, but it is impossible for the Thunder fans to even believe that they will have a team. Seattle loved Durant. Durant loves Seattle. Willie Lewis loves the Thunder team and Scott Brooks. Brooks has recently shared his admiration for Lewis' rebuliding tactics of a European team, the Derby Trailblazers, making them champions of the English Basketball League. And I think that the NBA favors OKC leaving for Seattle. Trust me, this is Willie Lewis' top choice, no matter what.

2. Minnesota Timberwolves


This bad team is bad, really bad. Ever since they traded away Kevin Garnett for Al Jeff, who is now a member of the Jazz, they've been down right pathetic. They've done bad in attendance, they can't seem to get a winning formula going, and the city hates them. The Twins really hate them though, for putting that huge ad. Lewis would be interested in rebuilding the team, but the fans would obviously be against this. Why want a losing team?

3. Sacramento Kings


This team is in deep trouble, as the NBA has ceased all help toward the Maloof brothers for a new stadium. After the Cal Expo refused the land swap, the Kings find themselves in a hole. Possible relocation sites include Seattle and other major but not suited for basketball cities. If you had a choice between Seattle and British Columbia, which would you choose? A city that has everything ready, or a city who has to do somethings to get ready. Fans would be in favor of this, but they would probably move to Anaheim or get a fund for 'Arco Arena III'.

4. Memphis Grizzles


The Grizz are very realistic in this situation. Micheal Heisley has been saying that the team won't move. Yeah, right. Why shouldn't they move? Memphis obviously isn't really a basketball town. He can't even get 15,000 to a game, worth noting it's on an average scale. And with the new stadium, this guy would be excited.

5. Charlotte Bobcats


The BOBcats, are very realistic, as Micheal Jordan says that a new team name is realistic. What about a new city, a new logo, and a new name? Enough said. Very low chance though.


Bill Wright is a reporter for the Seattle Times. He hopes to be the head journalist of ESPNSeattle.com; if it comes out.

[karlsanada10]

I'd go for Timberwolves. move them!

[kibaxx7]

I'd wait for a retro roster so the OKC move never happened, but that's just me.

LEWIS BUYS MINNESOTA AFTER LEAGUE OWNERS VOTE 25-5 AGAINST MOVING TO SEATTLE
Willie Lewis has bought the Minnesota Timberwolves after the NBA voted No for a new team to move to Seattle. Lewis was in shock after his discussion with David Stern, and released this statement.

"To all of the Seattle area fans. I am sorry for not getting a team back to Seattle. The owners simply did not agree with the Seattle Supersonics coming back. I am very disappointed in their decision. Operation SOS has been cancelled. I am sorry for what has occurred. Seattle was once again robbed of a team.

However, Willie Lewis bought the Minnesota Timberwolves and hopes to make them a contender in the near future.

"The Wolves have a great young core, and with all the draft rights they have, including the rights to Rubio, I think the future for the Wolves is great."

Then, when asked about Rubio's recent comments, saying that Minnesota is his first option, Lewis replied, "I really don't believe that. If it was, then he would be here leading our team to the playoffs."

Just wondering, how do you get the Sonics jersey and arena?

Trade all of the players from the team you want to relocate to the Sonics, then replace the team you are moving, with the Sonics.

[|)e8*]

There is sonics in the game?

[Houndy]

There is sonics in the game?

Chapter 1
Willie Lewis was in shock. The NBA voted against Seattle coming back. The five owners who voted for Seattle to come back were Mark Cuban, Paul Allen, Liam Washburn, Will Sit, and an owner who wanted his vote to be anonymous. He was disappointed. He thought to himself, What am I going to tell the press?He then stepped up to the podium.

"We will first allow Mr. Lewis to make his statement about the NBA's ruling, and then we will allow questions." said Bill Welsh, his advisor.

"Thank you for attending. As you know, the NBA owners sadly have decided that the expansion team for the Seattle Sonics will not happen. I am disappointed in this ruling. I will not appeal, as the owners have spoken their mind. However, I have agreed with Glen Taylor to purchase the Minnesota Wolves. I will not move them, but continue to make them into a winner."

The media gasped. They had not expected this twist.

"We will now accept questions for Mr. Lewis. You, in the first row left."

"Thank you sir. Simon Shell from the Minnesota Star-Tribune. When do you expect the Minnesota Timberwolves to be a playoff contender?"

"First of all Mr. Shell, it is the Minnesota Wolves. We will still use the Timberwolves for courts, but we will be known as the Wolves. And in response to your questions, this year we have a fighting chance. If the West gets weaker, I predict in two seasons a 46-36 team will make the playoffs. That will be us."

"Next. You, in the last row right.

"Hello Mr. Lewis. Jane Heff, ESPNMinnesota.com. With you in control of the Wolves, what do you think about the roster?"

"As long as we stay injury free, we're good." said Lewis with a twinkle in his eye.

* * * * * *

Willie met up with Kurt Rambis, to talk about some roster things and their starting lineup.

"So Kurt, who's in our starting five?"
"I was thinking Flynn, Ellington, Johnson, Love, and Darko. You?"
Willie knew that this man was serious, but laughing was almost impossible.

"How do we expect to keep up with the Lakers, or the freaking Kings?" responded an upset Lewis.
"Flynn, Brewer, Johnson, Beasley, and Love. Happy?"
"You can say that." as Willie Lewis flashed a smirk.

* * * * * *

The first game had been a disaster so far for the Wolves. They were getting blown out by Tyreke Evans and Carl Landry. Both were dominating the small lineup of the Wolves.

"Get your asses on Defense! That's what you get for giving away the damn ball." yelled Rambis, upset with his teams 15+ turnovers so far.
"Anthony, Peko, get your asses in. This game is impossible to win."
"Yes sir." responded the two as they went to the scores table. Across them was Evans and Landry.

"Yo look. It's the two bitches for the Minnesota Wusses. Watch out, 30 and still going strong, bitch." said Evans to Tolliver, who was ignoring the Kings' star."

"And look, there's the guy from Russia or Serbia. I heard he sucks dick." said Landry, slapping a high-five to Tyreke.

Then after another turnover by Flynn, the 4 came in.

Tolliver set a pick on Tyreke on the pick and roll, but Jonny threw the pass behind him. "Fuck." said Flynn after throwing the pass.

"I'm going all the way, all the way, to main street bitches." said Tyreke, his hands ready for a dunk.

"Fuck off manwhore." yelled Tolliver, who then threw his body into a foul.

"Foul. Number 44, white. Two shots." said the ref, Eddie F. Rush.

"Fuck you piece of shit." said Evans as he went after Tolliver.
