Besides that, I also think it is good to differentiate ourselves from the Sonics. Those guys are Sonics players. Great guys, but they were not, nor ever will be, identified as Thunder players.
A wound can't heal if you keep picking at it. To add players that are so clearly a part of the Sonics past would just be a slap in the face to Sonics fans. Leaving them be seems like the classiest move to make.
We definitely need to let the "dead bury the dead!"
Seattle was always concerned about OKC Thunder using their history and the more we mention their history and start menting our own--the better off we will be.
The Lakers still drag some excess baggage from having relocationed from Minneapolis--lot less since the Timerwolves are in Minnepaul & St. Apolis.
We are now beginning to mold our own Oklahoma City Thunder history and the sooner Seattle gets another NBA franchise, the better off we will be.
