Former Sonics guard Gary Payton said he and his agent are working with another former Sonic, James Donaldson, to put together a group that hopes to bring the NBA back to Seattle by 2011. Payton, who is retired from playing, spoke with Donaldson last week and said a lot of NBA players are trying to get a movement started to get Seattle a team. Payton said he'd like to get his group set before bringing the cause to NBA commissioner David Stern. He was then asked about the start of the NBA season, about two weeks from now, and how it feels to not hear about a team in Seattle.

I think an expansion.
Stern was looking for another team in the east a few years back.

They need to move New Orleans back to the East, never understood why they moved them to the west when they left Charlotte.
