The SuperSonics are (likely) coming back: How Seattle retained name, history while waiting for NBA's return​

Seattle is one step closer to an NBA expansion franchise and a revival of the SuperSonics name

The NBA on Wednesday took another step toward returning to Seattle after a 20-year absence.

The board of governors unanimously approved a vote that will allow the league to begin accepting bids on two new franchises -- one in Seattle and one in Las Vegas -- with the expected price for the new teams expected to be between $7 billion and $10 billion.

While there are still a few stages left before anything is finalized, the NBA appears to want to move quickly on expansion. The 2028-29 season is the reported target date for when the new franchises would begin play, as both Las Vegas and Seattle have the arena infrastructure in place to help expedite the process.
