So the question after tonight is "will kevin durant save seattle?"

Can he change the impression the public has of this team enough that they will be in a Tukwilla, South Seattle or some other yet to be determined location?

Is he good enough? Can he at 19 change the minds of a heavily taxed region?

Quote:

"This does two things now," the scouting director said. "No. 1, suddenly this is a lot more lucrative job for a potential coach or general manager to come into. Now you go from drafting a Joakim Noah or Jeff Green to getting one of the only two players that can single-handedly make you a better team in terms of wins and losses.

"Secondly, whoever takes (the general manager) job can now put his imprints on the team. (Sonics president) Lenny Wilkens might be able to attract someone he might not have a chance at before."

If not for the stadium issues, Jerry West would be amazing.
