Ya I think there had been rumors since 2000 of the Maloofs looking into relocation.

 

[uknowdonti]

I'll be there - Section 104. I can't believe this could possibly be the last Kings game EVER.

I'll be there too, section 205 for me.

[tyrekeevans]

[tyrekeevans]

Wish yall were around this thread more 

i would be. its just tough hearing more about relocation than the usual on court problems of the kings

I feel ya dog, hopefully once the future of the franchise is cemented in Sacramento we'll see an influx of yall back in here 

Looks like we won't be matching the $16M raised bid by Hansen.

IMO its not a big deal because, thats such a small amount of money. So Stern had to have told them not to sweat it.

 

[tyrekeevans]

hopefully they did match it when they submitted and kept it on the DL

No vote this week at the BoG

Written bid will be submitted tomorrow.

To recap, mayor says Sacto's written #NBAKings bid is being finalized by lawyers, will be sent to NBA Wednesday.

...and he seemed to suggest Sacto won't match the higher Hansen offer from last Friday.

NBA confirms no vote this week on #NBAKings
— Dale Kasler (@dakasler) April 16, 2013

from Seattle

Analysis: delayed vote can't help #nbaseattle. Every day the #nbakings bid gets more consideration, it gets more legitimacy.

Its just amazing how far we've come... 

From 1st and goal for the Kings moving to Seattle

to dismissing Sacramento's efforts...

to making it a real strong possibility that the Kings could stay.

I almost purely want the Kings to stay just as a middle finger to all the ignorant idiots out there.

FWIW...... my boy is taking this delay as the NBA looking into expansion

He ain't the only one. The league can't ignore someone willing to pay $550 (well, at least as a valuation) for a franchise that is legitimately worth a little more than half that. Could be a Browns-Ravens situation, with either Seattle getting the Kings, and guaranteeing expansion. Or the Kings staying, and Seattle getting an expansion team. Problem is, expansion won't be discussed until 2016, probably. And it'll take a year or two to get it up and running. So, five years, for either city. That's my guess.

 

[lightweight champion]

I can't remember where I read the article but the author said Hansen may have out priced himself for expansion if he gets denied. He valued the kings at $550 mil but his bid is actually $357 mil? If he gets denied and is granted expansion he would have to pay the full $550+ million for a brand new ball club.

Who else is saying that up there??

I'm pretty sure my friend's source might be one of the Maloofs... but everytime I press him on it he gets all weird about it.

Waiting till 2016-18 isn't too terrible since neither city will get an arena built until then (that 2015 date Hansen set is bull ****).

Was the Browns/Ravens situation planned to go down like that? IMO if expansion happens it'll be in Seattle, because I don't see the point of uprooting the franchise for just 3-5 years and pausing pro basketball in Sacramento, until the arena is built.

damn didn't even think of that 

but hey, I'll be with the Seattle people on this.... money ain't an object to Hansen/Ballmer, if thats a possible avenue for them to get a team once the Kings stay, they'll do what it takes to get an expansion team

I've seen it mentioned elsewhere.

[lightweight champion]

Got my tickets for tonight. Just hoping to see a spirited crowd.

 

[Deleted member 38182]

not really news-worthy since it was expected... but good to know

BREAKING: NBA received Sacramento's bid for the #NBAKings Tuesday night and will review it today with owners committees.

I stopped posting regularly when the Lakers beat the Kings in the 2002 WCF. It was (is) too heartbreaking.
