Was much more Stern using his bully pulpit to try and make Daniels look bad. He was right about Stern, though, despite the Commissioner's protest.
the commissioner was 100% right and Daniels was being an idiot. The Sonics moved because they wanted (maybe or maybe not needed) an arena and the government didnt pay for one, this after they just paid for new stadiums for all the other teams. They had no choice but to move or pony up 400M themselves to build a new arena, which would be stupid considering their business model (and the NFL's, and the NHL's, and the MLB's) relies on bullying cities into building their venues.
I mean, a less ornery stern might have better phrased an answer along the lines of "Now Seattle is willing to work with us to build a stadium", but everything stern answered was accurate.
