The legal battles in Seattle over the future of the SuperSonics are quickly becoming more complicated, more expensive and more unpredictable. Hard on the heels of a fight over an arena lease in Seattle and an attempt by former owner Howard Schultz to undo his sale to an Oklahoma City group in July 2006 comes the assertion late last week from Oklahoma City officials that they will expect more than $150 million in damages if the team does not move into their upgraded arena.

The Oklahoma City demands arrived in a nine-page, powerfully worded letter from an attorney for Oklahoma City's mayor and city council. According to the letter from city attorney Wiley L. Williams, current Sonics owner Clay Bennett has signed a series of interlocking contracts and leases with Oklahoma City that are legally binding and would result in enormous penalties if the team does not move.

The contracts and leases, the letter says, are "fully enforceable against the current and any future owners" of the team.

"We expect the agreements to survive regardless of the outcome" of the litigation in Seattle, according to Williams. A lawsuit seeking to enforce the Sonics' lease in Seattle is scheduled for trial on June 16. That case seeks to enforce a lease that Bennett inherited when he purchased the team from Schultz nearly two years ago.

I predict an expansion team in either Seattle or Oklahoma City within three years.

If the sale to Bennett is annulled, wouldn't those leases be null and void as well because Bennett was not able to act in capacity as the owner of the team?

OHSHI-
