That being said, I hope they rename the Coyotes to the Metropolitans.
+1 to Metropolitans.

Lots of questions especially on the public financing but cautiously optimistic at this very early stage. The cynic in me rolls my eyes with the slick PR firm portraying Hansen as a local boy making good.

He is a billionaire whose primary focus is ROI and bringing back the Sonics secondary which is fine but that is not how he is being depicted.
