I don't know if amused or perplexed is the right word for what I felt when I read this article from the San Antonio newspaper with regard to Seattle Sonics owner Clay Bennett. 

Maybe it was more of an "aha!" moment. 

People don't generally change their personalities overnight, any more than leopards change their spots or tigers their stripes (unless, of course there is some organic/medical cause for it).  Therefore, it was, to my way of thinking, highly unlikely that Clayton Bennett just woke up one morning and decided that he was not going to honor the side agreement that he had with Howard Schultz' ownership group (a sale that would not have been  approved had the PBC, LLC not agreed to its terms with regard to good faith efforts to keep the team in Seattle).

In fact, it seems that he made up his mind in that direction at a point in time before the Sonics were  even a gleam in his eye, so to speak. Having attempted, (and been unsuccessful in the effort), to convince the Spurs to move to a Gaylord family arena in Nashville TN, after which he was removed from the ownership group for other reasons, he set his sights elsewhere; though not for more than 10 years.

Seems to me that San Antonio got lucky that they aren't the ones presumed soon to playing in Ford Center.  And it also seems to me that this angle, if followed up on by the legal teams for the city of Seattle and Howard Schultz, might add a bit more smoke (or remove a few more mirrors, not sure which one) to their litigious arsenals.

And the beat goes on.   More to follow......
