OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - There was another sign of progress in the Seattle SuperSonics' transition to Oklahoma City on Tuesday as the team's Web site was updated to include its new home.

A visit to SuperSonics.com redirects visitors to the NBA Oklahoma City site, where logos with the team's former name have been taken down.

The Oklahoma City franchise is using the Web site to take names from people interested in buying season tickets when they go on sale.

SuperSonics owner Clay Bennett announced last week that he would be moving the team to Oklahoma City after reaching a settlement to exit a lease at Seattle's KeyArena.

Bennett will be leaving the SuperSonics' name, logo and colors in Seattle. The NBA hasn't yet announced a new name for the Oklahoma City franchise.
