Sonics relocation lawsuit

This is an interesting twist to the whole "Sonics moving to Oklahoma City" story... Former Supersonics owner Howard Schultz has filed suit to undo the sale of the team, claiming that current owner Clay Bennett violated terms of the sale by trying to move it out of Seattle. Schultz, the chairman of Starbucks, said Bennett committed fraud and asked a Seattle-area judge to hold the team in trust until an 'honest buyer' could be found (i.e. one that would keep the team in Seattle). What do you think about all this?

Yeah, I am hoping they stay put...I am not sure why anyone would give up Seattle for Oklahoma.
