Seattle will get another team when they do their next round of expansion, it's virtually a given. The NBA hasn't had any relocation candidates, or rich Seattle owners looking to pull a Clay Bennett (the Clippers were the only possibility, and Balmer prefers living in SoCal obviously). Also, speaking of Bennett, the city of Seattle could have given him a free arena with the most ridiculous perks and he still would have moved. His intentions were never to keep the team in Seattle.
