If you were given the opportunity to negotiate the terms for the Sonics relocation to Oklahoma City, and the package you and Bennett agreed on went to the City Council, what terms would you offer?

Mine:

1. Give the Sonics no lease payments until they have recovered the money owed to the city of Seattle (or King County, whichever owns Key), then a percentage of the gross revenue from ticket sales.

2. Give Bennett the option to rename the team providing he uses Oklahoma City and not Oklahoma (of course, he can rename it anyway).

3. Buy back the naming rights to Ford Center if Sonic Industries agrees to buy naming rights for the fee paid by Ford plus an amount cominserate with an NBA arena, only if they agree to name it Sonic Center.

4. Provide free office space for a maximum of five years.

5. Give the Oklahoma City Sonics free advertising on buses with ten percent of the buses being total-total advertising.

6. Agree to upgrade the arena to Sonics standards. Should they want more seats, include it in MAPS III.

7. Build a practise arena to hold up to 10,000 people for viewing, or upgrade Norick arena for that purpose.

8. Ask the Sonics for profit sharing from television and radio contracts with the agreement the revenue will be for civic beautifaction projects.

9. Provide free police security during games and for key personnel during personal appearances and up to 24 hours a day if a player is the calibur of Shaquel O'Neal.
