#WereBack Sonics NBA Return

Seattle awarded NBA Expansion franchise



Commissioner Adam Silver announced today that the NBA has awarded two new expansion franchises to the league to begin play in the 2016-17 season. Seattle and Kansas City were awarded the two franchises, after bids were put in by twelve different cities for the honor. This of course means that the Sonics will be returning to Key Arena this fall, while the basketball hot bed of Kentucky will finally have a professional team. The team has been awarded to the state and will play in the city of Louisville. The team name and logo has yet to be announced, Seattle also announced on the same day that they were hiring Glen Zariczny to be the new GM of their franchise. The NBA has set up an Expansion draft next week for both franchises. Eight players on each current roster will be protected from this draft.

NBA Expansion Draft Results


Both teams get nostalgic as expansion rosters are announced


Nostalgia ruled the day at the NBA Expansion draft, as both teams put together rosters that should keep their new fans interested all season long. The first pick of the draft was Serge Ibaka, who ironically enough was an original Supersonics draft pick back in 2008. Seattle also drafted local legends Jamal Crawford, and Quincy Pondexter, and concluded the draft with an all time great nostalgia pick by selecting Gary Payton II, the son of who most consider the greatest player in Supersonics history. On the other side Louisville began their draft by taking Kentucky star Tyler Ulis, before going heavy on Centers, and point guards. Other notable players were NBA Legend Vince Carter (Sonics), NBA Champion Javale McGee (Sonics), Jeremy Lin (Liberty), and Rajon Rondo (Liberty).

Re: #WereBack Sonics NBA Return

Whiteside dominates for Heat as Sonics drop opener


Miami - Hassan Whiteside had a dominant game up front for the Heat collecting 27 rebounds to go with his 21 points for his first 20-20 double double of the season, as the Heat pulled away late to put away the expansion Sonics, in the two teams opening games of the season. The Sonics were scrappy, and held their own for three quarters with the Heat. Yogi Farrell, and Jamal Crawford led the way scoring wise with 15, and 14 points respectively, but Seattle only connected on 11 of 37 shots from three point land, taking entirely too many for that percentage, which led to fast breaks for the Heat that ultimately let them pull away. Seattle will now return home to open the brand new Amazon Arena against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday.

Re: #WereBack Sonics NBA Return

Timberwolves down Sonics in home opener


Seattle - The Sonics opened up their brand new state of the art arena in the Sodo District to an ecstatic group of 21,000 plus fans who couldn't be happier to see pro basketball finally return to the Emerald City. They wont mind nights like these in the first year or so, as the expansion Sonics restart their franchise. A win would've been nice, but a balanced effort, led by Andrew Wiggins 20 points, and Karl-Anthony Towns 18 point, 14 rebound effort gave the T-Wolves a 95-87 win over the Sonics. Milos Teodosic led the way for the Supes with 13 points, and Jamal Crawford chipped in 12 in his hometown debut. Seattle now will be right back here tomorrow night to face the Knicks in a back to back near the start of the season.

Re: #WereBack Sonics NBA Return

Jamal Crawford lights up the Knicks as Sonics get first win in new campaign

Seattle - Jamal Crawford put on a show for the Seattle fans scoring 37 points and leading the way, as the Sonics got their first win in their new incarnation with a 105-83 blowout of the New York Knicks. Kristaps Porzingis had 25 for the Knicks, who are beginning life without Carmelo Anthony who was dealt to the Thunder in the offseason. Seattle hits the road now carrying this momentum as they will face the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday.

Re: #WereBack Sonics NBA Return

Cousins, Pelicans too much for Sonics

New Orleans - DeMarcus Cousins had an unreal stat line of 31 points, and 26 rebounds to go with his 5 blocks, and the Sonics shot an abysmal 6-36 from three, and 29-89 overall as they fell to the Pelicans 89-78 to fall to 1-3 on the year. Serge Ibaka led the way with his best game of the season with 19 points and 12 boards, and Dewayne Dedmon was a stud defensively with six blocked shots, but that was the extent of positives for the Sonics. They will look to turn it around on Wednesday when they back home to face the Phoenix Suns.

Re: #WereBack Sonics NBA Return

Sonics smash Suns to grab second win of the year

Seattle - Maurice Harkless had a season high 20 points, and six Sonics in total scored in double figures, as Seattle destroyed the Phoenix Suns 113-65 Wednesday night at Amazon Arena. Jamal Crawford had 19 off the bench with a sprained ankle he suffered Monday at New Orleans, as the Sonics held the Suns to an abysmal shooting performance, where their highest scorer amassed just 12 points. The Sonics made another change in the line up starting JaVale McGee, and bringing Dewayne Dedmon off the bench. It seemed to pay off as Dedmon was a spark plug collecting 12 boards off the bench for the Supes. Who now await Steph Curry, and the defending champion Warriors Friday night at Amazon Arena.
