ESPN's Caple-- not a regular women's basketball writer-- declares his love for the Storm... and predicts that neither the Storm nor the Sonics will move.
On the other hand, rumor has it that Storm'n'Sonicssleazeball lead owner Clay Bennett all but told team employees to pack their bags. The mayor of Oklahoma, as you might expect, denies everything.
If the Sonics leave, will the Storm then go up for sale? (Don't trust Bennett when he calls the teams indivisible. For that matter, don't trust him when he calls one plus one two.)
And: can the city of Seattle make both teams stay until 2010? Mayor Greg Nickels tells the SeaTimes he might try it.
City Attorney Tom Carr, speaking carefully: "We're in as good a position as a city can be to hold a sports tenant to a lease."
