Posted by Jeff Sack under NBA Off The Court Issues 

The “Seattle Post-Intelligencer” reported Monday that former Seattle SuperSonics point guard Gary Payton believes that the NBA will have a team back in the “Emerald City” by 2011. Payton also said that he had no desire for the Oklahoma City Thunder to retire his uniform number. The Glove said “I think I made that clear, I didn’t play in Oklahoma, so it wouldn’t be anything that I’m looking forward to because I didn’t play for the Oklahoma Thunder. don’t think that Oklahoma should get the benefits of seeing me raise my number. I think these people here are the people who have seen me and made me who I am.”

Payton also said that according to his sources “I’m inside with the NBA a little bit, I think before 2011 a team will be here. A lot of teams want to move and I think Seattle’s got a good shot at it.”
