Seattle will 100% be the Sonics.

Jerry’s involvement in Vegas is intriguing.
You knew it was going to be a krap fest when Sarver hung Jerry out to dry, and didn't take ANY of his advice on how to run an NBA franchise. It wasn't Jerry who had the big ego in that situation.

I am a big JC fan, hence the JC in my handle. But Jerry always sort of liked to carry a little of the "mafia don" persona. His dress, the rings, being called Mr. Colangelo. I am sure he had none of the those connections, but Jerry being an owner in Las Vegas, well, it is just interesting.

At an old job I used to have we hired a couple new guys. One rolled up to work in his car as I was getting out of mine. I noticed he had a bumper sticker that said, "WW JC DO." He got out of his car and I was really excited, "Hey! I didn't know you were a Suns fan?" He said, "I'm not. WHy do you think that?" I said, "I saw your license plate, what would Jerry Colangelo do?" He said, "That's Jesus Christ." I thought it was funny, that to me JC meant Jerry Colangelo.

Keep an eye on Kansas City as a potential relocation spot for the Trail Blazers, if arena renovation negotiations continue to spiral in Portland, per
@BillSimmons
.

Kansas City’s mayor recently said they want an NBA team, and they already have a ready-made arena for the Blazers.
