Sonics Deny $400m Asking Price

May 23, 2006 2:21 AM EST

According to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Sonics officials denied on Monday a published report that the team's majority owner, Howard Schultz, has set an asking price of about $400 million for the franchise.

Schultz has indicated his group may be forced to sell the franchise if the Sonics do not receive $220 million in public funds for improvements to KeyArena or have a new arena built in a suburb such as Bellevue. But Sonics management, through spokesman Kurt Fedders, said Schultz has not set an asking price, nor has he intimated the team is for sale.
