Jayda Evans thinks David Stern won't let the Storm leave. If the team does relocate, she adds, then Stern must not care:

"If it's moved just because the NBA side of the deal isn't what the new owners want, then I'll have to give in to the belief that the women were nothing but a second thought to make money off of during the summer months ... If the Storm relocates to Oklahoma City — or anywhere else in America — then Stern and WNBA president Donna Orender are full of malarkey."

I'm not sure that's fair. Stern, and Orender, can certainly press Clayton Bennett's group to leave the Storm in Seattle if Bennett and co. take the Sonics-- assuming a willing, financially sound, Storm purchaser can be found. But can the league make the team stay, if Bennett et al insist otherwise?

In Evans' reporting this morning, LJ says again that she plans to stay in Seattle; anonymous sources tell Evans that the league wants the Storm to stay, too. (Via Scullyfu.)

Storm fans organize support, debate collective ownership (it would be difficult), and pursue the supposedly substantial chance that both teams will stay if they can play in Belllevue.
