Seattle Loses Sonics to Oklahoma City - Fantasy Impact
The Seattle Supersonics are officially no more. The team will move to Oklahoma City for the 2008-09 season.
After a long legal battle, the Sonics finally got out of their lease and are free to move. How will this impact the fantasy basketball world? There won’t be any cut and dry reactions to this move but there should be some subtle changes.
In the team’s last year in Seattle, they didn’t get much crowd support. The city of Seattle new that they were likely in a lame duck situation and it was difficult for the fans to be as rowdy as usual. However, in Oklahoma City, expect the opposite to be true. The fans will be very loud and will bring energy every night. That should help the Sonics and could result in a handful of home victories that otherwise would have been losses.
For players across the board in fantasy basketball, this is good news. It may be a sad day in Seattle but if you are an owner of a Sonics players, the short-term outlook is positive.
What will the new Oklahoma City NBA team be called? Two options getting a lot of publicity are the Oklahoma City Barons and the Oklahoma City Thunder.
