In an exclusive interview with FOX 13, Kraken President and CEO Tod Leiweke says it's not a matter of if – but when – NBA basketball returns to Seattle. FOX13
FOX 13’s Bill Wixey asked Leiweke what that timeline looks like, and it appears the Sonics could return sooner than we think.
"I think for Sonics fans who very much want that team to come back, if you see a Kraken fan at a bar, buy them a beer. It was the hockey team that got this arena built. And we built it, really, for basketball. An NBA preseason game may not seem like a benchmark moment, even in a basketball-hungry city like Seattle, but Jamal Crawford believes there’s value even in an exhibition.
"There’s also the right side of the ledger and the spiritual part of this. That was an incredible thing I witnessed, the Sonics left? The first team here? This town that is starting to truly hit its stride as a global city loses the first professional team? It just wasn’t right. But that is going to get fixed.
