There's some big news today up here in Sonic-land. A group of rich Seattle-ites is offering to buy the team from Clay Bennett as well pay $150 million to renovate Key Arena. They're asking the state to also pay $150 million, and it looks like the legislature is ready to pass this bill despite the legislative session ending next week. The group has also stated that if Bennett decides not to take them up on their offer, they will pursue another NBA team.

Also, Washington residents should call 1-800-562-6000 to tell your legislator that you support funding the arena.

There were a couple of other interesting articles about athletes' charities that were printed on the same page. Neither of them directly involve any Blazers, but I figured I'd include the links anyway:
