Former Sonics guard wants professional basketball team in Seattle by 2011
By Jose Miguel Romero
Seattle Times staff reporter

Former Sonics guard Gary Payton was at Qwest Field to raise the 12th Man flag before Sunday's kickoff, then later told reporters he is trying to get a group together to bring an NBA franchise back to Seattle by 2011.

Payton said he is enlisting the help of another former Sonic, James Donaldson, and other current NBA players to join the group. He has yet to speak to NBA commissioner David Stern, but also plans to have his agent, Aaron Goodwin, speak with people in the business world to further the cause.

"I'm always looking forward to another team coming here," Payton said

In related news former Seattle Supersonic Shawn Kemp is looking to bring back an NBA sized paycheck to his bank account to help pay child support for his illegitimate children.

Payton needs to teach Kemp a thing or two about not fathering children. They don't call him "The Glove" for nothing. lol

Those two would make a perfect pair to do this. Gary can put together the business end of things, and they can put together a 12 man roster comprised of Kemp's illegitimate sons pretty cheaply. The Seattle Bastards!

Too bad Gary couldn't be bothered to get a group together to keep the Sonics in Seattle.
