Thank god for adults

(and a reminder to cynics that elections do matter): Sonics Basketball Team Owner floats idea of Las Vegas Sonics.

Not all politicians are quaking in their boots:

House Speaker Frank Chopp, speaking this week to The Seattle Times editorial board, remained unsympathetic. "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. If they want to do it, we're not stopping them. They can pay for it themselves," said Chopp, D-Seattle.

I think what's funniest about this Sonics saga is that what Bennett is doing (inferring moves in other cities, punctuating demands with threats to leave) are commonly employed sports owner ploys to get a city to cave in and pay for your new arena, and it must baffle Bennett completely that none of them are working on the city.
