Howard Schultz has hired a lawyer and is preparing to file a lawsuit against
current team chairman Clay Bennett to rescind the July 2006 sale of the
SuperSonics, the Seattle Times reported Tuesday.

Schultz sold the NBA team to Oklahoma City investors nearly two years ago.
On Sunday, the Sonics played what could be their final home game in Seattle
before Bennett moves the club.

Attorney Richard Yarmuth confirmed Monday that his Seattle-based law firm,
Yarmuth Wilsdon Calfo, is representing Schultz and plans to sue Bennett's
Professional Basketball Club in the next two weeks.

"The damages that are being sought is to rescind, unwind the transaction,"
Yarmuth said.

"It's not money damage. It's to have the team returned. The theory of the
suit is that when the team was sold, the Basketball Club of Seattle, our
team here, relied on promises made by Clay Bennett and his ownership that
they desired to keep the team in Seattle and intended to make a good-faith
effort to accomplish that."

Holy balls Schultz! I didn't think you had it in ya! This would be
tremendous! Kick Clay's ass and send it back to Oklahomo City WITHOUT
a team!

I'm going out to buy 10 Starbucks latte's in celebration of this
momentus occasion!

It definitely an interesting turn of events.

Thats all the Lawsuit is about. PR and PR only. Make Howard seem
like a nice guy
I bet they dont even have 10% chance of winning it.

I have no illusions about the Sonics staying in Seattle. Frankly I'd like to
give Bennett and the NBA a big F U before they leave.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I think a good punishment for all of Gay Bennetts lies would be for
the league to not allow them any first-round draft picks for the next
10 years!
