As the NBA discusses potential expansion, Seattle appears poised to regain an NBA team and reclaim the history of the Seattle SuperSonics, who became the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2008. The Thunder will cede the Sonics' history, including their 1979 NBA Championship and retired jerseys, should Seattle be granted a new franchise. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has indicated that expansion is on the agenda, with Seattle and Las Vegas being primary candidates. The transfer of history is similar to how the Charlotte Hornets reclaimed their history from the New Orleans Pelicans. Seattle's Climate Pledge Arena and support from the NHL's Kraken ownership group bolster its bid. Fans in Seattle are hopeful and excited for the return of their beloved team and its storied past.
