Putting Seattle On The Map --- A Seattle SuperSonics Dynasty

Putting Seattle On The Map --- A Seattle SuperSonics Dynasty

Introduction
As a Seattleite I’m of course a fan of the three major sports franchises located in Seattle. And as that, I noticed of course that sport from the North West isn’t perceived as the best.
I intent to change just that.
Taking control of all three franchises, and focusing on realism, I’m not looking to go all out signing big names, maybe winning the championship in the first or second season, but rather to build up teams, even if that means going through numerous losing season, that can challenge for the title every year.

I will post my franchise reports on the following sites in a similar format and style:
Basketball: nba-live.com (started)
Baseball: mvpmods.com (will start once MVP06 is out)
Football: maddenmania.com (starts once I’m back in the “groove”)

History of the real SuperSonics
The Sonics were Seattle's first professional sports franchise. Beginning play in October, 1967, the franchise did not make a playoff appearance until 1975. The SuperSonics have since won division championships in 1979, 1994, 1996, 1997, 1998, and 2005, and have appeared in the NBA Finals in 1978, 1979, and 1996 (winning in '79).
Perhaps the strongest roster the team ever had was the 1995-96 team that received the nickname Sonic Boom. With a deep roster comprised of Shawn Kemp, Gary Payton, Detlef Schrempf, Sam Perkins, Nate McMillan, and others, the team reached the NBA Finals, but lost to Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls.
The team has been owned by Sam Schulman (1967–1983), Barry Ackerley (1983–2001), and currently Howard Schultz (the chairman of Starbucks Coffee, 2001–present).
