The Kings and Mavericks will escape a visit to OKC, however: both team schedules [Sacramento, Dallas] at one point boasted of games "at Seattle." Sweet! The Sonics return for two games this year!

Oklahoma City Thunder, Indeed
Posted Aug 6th 2008 4:48PM by Tom Ziller
Filed under: SuperSonics
A few weeks back, an enterprising Oklahoma City news outfit deduced the moniker for that town's new NBA team would be Thunder. And what do you know, via TrueHoop, the NBA inadvertently leaked out the team name when it released its 2008-09 schedule today. Take a look at this screenshot from OKC blog The Lost Ogle.
The Kings and Mavericks will escape a visit to OKC, however: both team schedules [Sacramento, Dallas] at one point boasted of games "at Seattle." Sweet! The Sonics return for two games this year!

The owner is a liar and a thief, I hope the thunder follows the lighting bolt up his behind!

Wow, "Thunder" is a sucky team name, the other suggestions were much better. Really, what the hell's gonna be the mascot? A walking thunder bolt? And what's going to be at center court? A huge thunder bolt? That's pretty lame if you ask me....

Thunder is a SOUND. You're thinking of a lightning bolt.
I don't doubt they'll try to use a lightning bolt, though, which makes it even more lame.

Houston Rockets
Los Angeles Clippers
Los Angeles Lakers
Memphis Grizzlies (A)
Minnesota Timberwolves
New Orleans Hornets (B)
Oklahoma City Lasers
Phoenix Suns
Portland Trail Blazers
Sacramento Kings
San Antonio Spurs
Seattle Supersonics (C)
Utah Jazz
A - In development
B - Possible move to Kansas City if low attendance after 08-09
C - If funds are sufficient to return to the NBA before 2013
