STRATEGIC ATTACK IS INEFFECTIVE!Mets Knicks Jets
The NBA Oklahoma City Thunder, with its Rumble the Bison mascot, has made inquiries about a possible move to the Prudential Center when the Nets move to Brooklyn.
A move would come as a jolt for Thunder fans. Team Chairman Clay Bennett, an Oklahoma City businessman, bought the Seattle SuperSonics in 2006, then confirmed the suspicions of many Sonics fans by relocating the team to the Sooner State in 2008. Bennett cited a need for a more modern arena in Seattle as his reason for the move — something Newark could easily provide. The Thunder currently play at Oklahoma City Arena, a 9-year-old facility that received $121 million in taxpayer-funded upgrades just as the team arrived.
Interestingly, Bennett was recently named chair of the NBA relocation committee that evaluated the potential relocation of the Sacramento Kings to Anaheim, Calif. Last week, the Kings announced that they would stay put, at least for one more year.
the fuck!?!?!coming soon: The New Jersey Thunder?

D-Will to L.A.?Nets point guard Deron Williams can opt for free agency next summer and has said that his goal in the long-term is to play for a team that wins.
Nets general manager Billy King is fully aware of Williams' mindset and knows he must improve the team if he is to retain the All-Star point guard.
"It's not something [Williams and I] haven't talked about privately," King told the New York Daily News. "My goal is to get to the playoffs next year. To get there, you need to improve. I think we'll improve just with the next training camp, but we also need to get more players that can help him get here."
According to the newspaper, King said there are not any specific moves that will guarantee Williams signing an extension with the Nets.
That's not a reliable source, DWill said so.D-Will to L.A.?
