Seattle to get a NBA team back?

It’s Kemp’s and Payton’s city, but not their team.

The new Seattle team (formerly the Sacramento Kings)
oughta officially name themselves the Seattle Sonics
to distinguish themselves from the Seattle SuperSonics (their official name).

Kemp’s and Payton’s Seattle SuperSonics
relocated to Oklahoma City and were renamed the
Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Seattle Sonics (formerly the Sacramento Kings)
would rock new green and gold unis and logos
(influenced by the Seattle SuperSonics) and
Kemp and Payton would get their numbers retired
by the Seattle Sonics for their basketball accomplishments in the city of Seattle.

Needs to be Supersonics, and bring Kemp out of retirement.

The only way Seattle gets a team is through relocation. After the NBA gave a team to Charlotte the NBA made it clear that they were pretty much done with expansion.

Relocation and renaming is usually straightforward.

The upcoming New Orleans Pelicans, are the old...
New Orleans Hornets, who are the old...
New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets, who are the old...
New Orleans Hornets, who are the old...
Charlotte Hornets.

The Sacramento Kings, are the old...
Kansas City Kings, who are the old...
Kansas City-Omaha Kings, who are the old...
Cincinnati Royals, who are the old...
Rochester Royals.

But even though The Oklahoma City Thunder, are the old...
Seattle SuperSonics, it’s a little different since the settlement terms of a lawsuit between the city of Seattle and Clay Bennett’s ownership group.
They stipulate that the Seattle SuperSonics’ banners, trophies and retired jerseys remain in Seattle.
The nickname, logo, and color scheme are available to any subsequent NBA team.
The Seattle SuperSonics’ franchise history will be shared with the renamed Oklahoma City Thunder.
