I think it's just as likely that Clay Bennett is playing... to extract more concessions from OKC's biggest sports fan, Mayor Mick Cornett....
http://www.kansascity.com/news/breaking_news/story/117995.htmlTim Leiweke, president of Anschutz Entertainment Group, which will manage the new downtown Sprint Center, said he was encouraged by comments made by Super Sonics chairman Clay Bennett in Monday’s editions of The Kansas City Star that he plans to consider the Kansas City market if his club moves from Seattle.
“We’re talking to Clay, I’ll leave it at that,” Leiweke said after addressing the International Economic Development Council’s conference Tuesday at the Westin Crown Center.
“But let’s be honest, here. If that franchise does move, the odds-on favorite is Oklahoma City. That said, Kansas City is in that mix.”
