David Stern says the Sonics will leave Seattle if things don't change. "The city is making it pretty clear... what they want us to do," he contends, "and we'll accommodate them... What I mean is they're not interested in having the NBA there."

Will the Sonics take the Storm wherever they go? Will commissioner Stern make the Storm's survival a condition of sale?

If-- as is rumoured-- Paul Allen tries to sell the Trailblazers and buy the Sonics, will he care more for the Storm than he did for the Portland Fire, which he folded as soon as he could?

Storm fans debate options for city, state and team.
