The 2006-07 Seattle SuperSonics season was pivotal, marking their 40th and penultimate campaign in Seattle before relocating to Oklahoma City. The team, coached by Bob Hill, struggled throughout the season, finishing with a record of 31-51. This placed them fifth in the Northwest Division and 13th in the Western Conference, missing the playoffs for the second consecutive year.
Despite the challenging season, there were notable individual performances. Ray Allen, the team’s star shooting guard, averaged 26.4 points per game, though he was limited to 55 games due to injuries. Allen’s scoring prowess remained a highlight, as he continued to be one of the league’s elite shooters. Rookie Kevin Durant, selected second overall in the 2007 NBA Draft, was not yet on the team, but the groundwork for his arrival was laid this season.
Off the court, the season was marked by uncertainty regarding the team’s future in Seattle. Owner Clay Bennett had purchased the team in 2006 and was exploring relocation options, citing the need for a new arena. This led to tensions with local authorities and fans, who were eager to keep the team in Seattle.
The 2006-07 season laid the groundwork for significant changes, both in terms of player personnel and the franchise’s location. As the season concluded, the focus shifted to rebuilding and the impending move, setting the stage for the eventual transformation into the Oklahoma City Thunder. The SuperSonics’ legacy in Seattle remained strong, despite the turbulent end to their era in the city.
- Regular Season Record: 31-51
