A wealthy San Francisco hedge-fund manager is the lead investor seeking to build a sports arena south of Safeco Field to lure an NBA basketball team back to Seattle, according to two sources briefed on the effort.

Christopher Hansen, 43, who has roots in Seattle and now heads Valiant Capital Management LLC, in San Francisco, is working with an investor group whose proposal has yet to be publicly unveiled.

Mayor Mike McGinn's office confirmed Dec. 9 that it was examining an "opportunity" to bring an NBA franchise to Seattle, but declined to provide specific information. Ethan Raup, McGinn's director of policy and operations, declined to comment Friday.

The Sodo proposal represents the most serious effort to resurrect NBA basketball in Seattle since the Sonics left in 2008 for Oklahoma City.

Hansen apparently is focusing on land in the Sodo District, just south of Safeco Field's parking garage, between South Massachusetts and South Holgate streets east of First Avenue South, as a possible arena site.

A limited liability corporation (LLC) he heads recently purchased one large property in the area, and a broker associated in public records with that corporation reportedly has reached out to nearby owners.

Do the bucks do okay in Milwaukee? If not, relocate them, call them the Seattle StarBucks, slap a cheesy space suit onto the stag in the logo.

Herb Kohl said that the new CBA will help them immensely. Although it's his fault for driving people away in the first place.

Milwaukee is a good basketball town, they just haven't had a team worth rooting for since Kohl bought the team. The Bucks were doing awesome until the early 90s.
 
Take 5 attempts to make a technically difficult and aesthetically pleasing dunk? 7/10

Take 17 attempts to make a technically easy and aesthetically unappealing dunk if the contest is rigged so that you can face Dwight Howard in the Final because the league dropped a shitton of money on props? 9/10

its funny how the media tries to make a story out of nothing.but whatever anyways up going to shoot around preparing for the game! #huskies

Probably hated by many, probably liked by few, but at the end of the day I have my family and the support of my Teammates and #uconnnation

Drummond (Ranked #2 in the draft right now by most. UConn center) sent out these tweets after being called out by major media for not knowing who his opponent for tonight's game was (Herb Pope, averaging around 20-10 for Seton Hall). He also searches for negative tweets about him from random people to send angry DMs to them. He's going to be the perfect Washington Wizard.

I'm excited and hopeful for him. He seems to have a really good skill set and great hustle. I'd love to see him and Bogut doing well together.

Yeah, please don't move the Bucks...

Thing is that Wisconsin in general are pretty loyal to their teams, I think. People go batshit crazy for the Badgers, the Brewers, and the Packers. I think all Milwaukee would need to do to get into the playoffs a few years and fans would be pretty excited. If they could actually be contenders in that they get to the conference finals or win a playoff series, even, I think a lot more people would care. There was a bit of excitement, like a lot of people realized we still had a basketball team when they played Atlanta last in the playoffs.

It is still sad to see that the support for the Bucks is nowhere near the other sports in this state, though.

When LeBron finally wins a chip, it'll be about as impressive as Nate's dunk championship.
