This story falls in the "holy s#!%" category, as well as those denoted above. From the Seattle Times's Percy Allen, via SonicsCentral: Howard Schultz says he wants the Sonics back.Schultz's lawyer says the "good faith" clause in the sale contract -- the stipulation new owner Bennett would make every effort to keep the Sonics in Seattle -- was not satisfied. Based on the timing, I imagine the Times' release of damning emails between Bennett and his co-owners discussing the need to flee to Oklahoma City ASAP had something to do with this outrage from Schultz.
Nearly two years after selling Seattle's NBA franchise to Oklahoma City investors, the Starbucks mogul has hired a lawyer and is preparing to file a lawsuit against Sonics chairman Clay Bennett to rescind the July 2006 sale.
Just yesterday, David Stern continued to stand by Bennett. That cannot last much longer ... can it? The commissioner's got to step in; more and more, it looks like it might resolve with the franchise still in Seattle.

1. Good show, "Mr. Starbucks." You now have a reason to not payback the $100 mil you owe your baristas. Use THEIR stolen tips to buy back the team.
