Woo! Oklahoma City is getting the Sonics!
NEW YORK — Welcome to the big leagues, Oklahoma City.
With a 28-2 vote of owners on Friday, the NBA added Oklahoma City to the roster of major league cities, officially approving the relocation of the SuperSonics.
Legal wrangling over the Sonics’ lease will still determine when the team gets to town, but the vote puts the seal of approval on Oklahoma City’s ascendance from temporary relocation home of the Hornets to landing spot for the Sonics.
The team could be in Oklahoma City as soon as this fall or as late as after the end of the 2009-10 season.

Well deserved for how OKC treated New Orleans during the hurricane a few years back. Congrats to the area… now if only I cared about the NBA, haha.
