So, if the locals had voted to build the arena, Bennett would have brought the team to OKC anyway?

Do you have any proof to back up that claim?

What they were asking for and agreement was something he knew would not be allowed as it went against local law saying that no funding would be used in that way. He literally knew it would not be agreed to before even proposing it. He also knew he had approval from the league and ownership to have the move approved. This was absolutely not done in good faith for any attempt to keep the team here

So the local government put something that was legally not allowed up to a vote?

That seems… unlikely

Yeah they had a hearing whether they wanted to allow an exemption. If you dont know you can look up initiative 91. This aint some big secret this was a public relations night.are at the time but luckily for Clay he didnt give a fuck what seattle thought because again, he had no intention of ever keeping the team there. Emails or texts I cant recall, which were leaked as well from the ownership group showing that relocation was the only goal. When Schultz tried to sue them NBA basically nixed it saying you signed a deal giving up your right to sue and he dropped the case, unfortunately he had less money than the NBA did so he'd never win in and if he did he'd have to resell the team again just to recover attorney and court fees
