2,102,400-minute warning
The owners of the Seattle Sonics warn that even though the team's lease at KeyArena doesn't expire until 2010, that doesn't mean they plan to be patient about their demands for a new round of arena subsidies. "Everybody thinks in terms of 2010 as being a long way out and we can deal with that problem later," team VP Terry McLaughlin told reporters yesterday. "We can't deal with that problem later. We need some decision immediately." The Seattle Times added: "[Sonics CEO Wally] Walker and McLaughlin yesterday repeatedly stressed that the Sonics owners will honor the lease and are not threatening to leave." Say what?
