This is also the Seattle's last season with Ray Allen as he was traded in the off-season to the Atlanta Hawks for a second–round pick. The regular season ended with a 12–69 win–loss record and the team missed the playoffs entirely. The team only played 81 games due to a game versus the Golden State Warriors that was cancelled due to Seattle Arena having major complications and this game was not considered significant anyway.

Regular season

Mitch Howlen and Sean Steamson's rookie season were in doubt, Due to Mitch Howlen having injuries. After going 4–43 in the regular season, Chances for the team to stay in Seattle took a heavy blow and mediocrity reaches at highest peak, as owner Howard Schultz made public that his desire to disband the team in the 2018–19 NBA season. At November 4 until December 5, the team would hit rock bottom. The SuperSonics would go on a franchise-worst 18-game losing streak.
