Chris Hansen has an announcement that is being released at 5PM through sonicsarena.com.

We don’t have any idea what the announcement is going to be, but we’re pretty sure it’s not going to be the Seahawks trading Richard Sherman to the Jets for Darrelle Revis.

Let the wild and over imaginative speculation begin!

Update: Word coming from Carmichael Dave and Aaron Bruski is that Chris Hansen is bowing out from buying the Kings and is going to build them an arena free of charge for all the stress he has caused the city.

Update #2: Kevin Johnson has announced a press conference for 5:07PM tonight.

Update #3: The announcement is happening to keep Kevin from running an OKC-San Antonio game thread tonight.

*Updates are pure speculation by SR. They may or may not be true*

Our good friend Chris Daniels showed off these pictures today for the new Sonics’ arena. Seems things are getting close to being a little bit more final. Definitely has me excited to be there opening night in a couple of years.

Definitely starting to really take shape. Again, very excited to be able to get into some games in this beauty in two years. KeyArena will always kind of be home though. It’s a little small, but it’s honestly the best place I’ve ever seen a basketball game.
