SEATTLE -- Clay Bennett finally found a dollar amount that would sever his contentious relationship with the city of Seattle -- $75 million.

As a result, the SuperSonics are headed to Oklahoma City with Bennett leading the way, leaving behind the team name, colors and 41 years of history.

Oklahoma City will have an NBA franchise for the 2008-09 season after a settlement announced Wednesday between the team and the city of Seattle, ending the clashing bond with the city that culminated in a six-day federal trial over terms of the team's KeyArena lease. The judge was scheduled to rule Wednesday afternoon.

Good for OKC. Those land thieves deserve to have something to divert their attention away from Norman and Stillwater. Even dirt burglars shouldn't be forced to bedlam at all times.

How was that, SumItUp?

I don't care about the colors, but yes, the Hornets should have stayed in Charlotte.

And yes, I'm still bitter.
