Hate to break it to you guys, but anybody who actually knows anything about the Sonics situation knows that this vote is, and has been, irrelevant and we've known and prepared for the 28-2 outcome.

I think that it turned out better than I thought it would, as Paul Allen was able to ignore Stern's threats of reprecussions to make the smart decision.

Had anybody in Seattle actually thought that the BOG might come somewhat close to rejecting the move, then none of the 3 lawsuits against the Sonics would have been filed to until some time next week.

All the lawsuits and everything that anybody who knows what's really going on has said about the future of the Sonics has been said with the expectation that the BOG would approve the relocation.

My point is that this doesn't change ANYTHING. The Sonics are still going to lose all 3 lawsuits and the Sonics will be in Steve Ballmer's hands by the beginning of next season.
