There seems to be no shortage of questions
regarding the transition of Oklahoma City's NBA franchise, but a
team spokesman says the move is proceeding quickly.
Speculation has swirled around what the team's new nickname and
color scheme will be. A practice facility site has been chosen, but
it's temporary and it hasn't been revealed how many team employees
are moving from Seattle.
An announcement could come later this week about where the team's business operations will be located until renovations are made to the Ford Center.
The team also must reach agreements on radio and television
partnerships and sponsorships.
Spokesman Dan Mahoney noted the team didn't know until July 2nd that it would be able to move to Oklahoma City for the upcoming season. He says not only is the team moving, but it's rebranding and that involves a lot of things.
