Micky Arison is one of the NBA owners most likely to engage on Twitter. He's gotten busted in the past for commenting on lockout related matters via the social media service, and apparently he's always open to responding to NBA fans through Direct Messages. A Seattle tweeter — @Dah_knee — says he engaged Arison in such an exchange on Wednesday. Then he sent screenshots of the purported exchange to Seattle radio guy Softy Mahler, who posted them.

And man, Arison is going to be a new hero in Sacramento.

You'll have to read the full exchange for yourself on Softy's site, but here are a couple of cleaned-up quotes from Arison I've plucked from the screenshots.

While I do think Arison gives Schultz and Bennett too much credit here, I nonetheless smile at the thought of an NBA owner making the same arguments we've been making for four months now. It's glorious.
