Just like any good soap, Seattle-on-the-Move? looks like it heading for the classic court room drama stage.

Seems that after the "Preposterous!" coat flinging, the "Heck, yes we want to stay " (but let's ask the judge if we can leave) and the "Hell, no we won't let you go" chapters, we're now in the "Please person in the long black robe, make'em stay!" stage.

Seattle city officials filed a lawsuit Monday to keep the SuperSonics from leaving town. The lawsuit filed in King County Superior Court was a counter move to a Sonics' attempt to be released from their lease on KeyArena.
