RIP to the black/purple Jordan PEs. |I

Edit:

The Jeremy Lin-Chandler Parsons bromance is getting uncomfortable.

 

[mronegative]

It just feels surreal to me. I'm sure once things get confirmed and the season draws on, there'll be some type of concrete feeling, but it felt like, to me, that the Kings have been in hospice for years.

Worst owners in sports and they flaunted it.

Rain City we in here. Ecstatic to have basketball back up here in the Northwest.

I always thought you meant you wanted him to get traded 

I wanted him to get 25 mpg for the Sacramento Kings, not the Seattle Sonics

Sonics get stolen from you.... become Lakers fan. Makes sense.

Spike telling Pablo he can't wear purple.

He's still wearing them too, that video was a month ago.

Can anyone find my man Prigioni a pair of Nike Kobe VI's in a Knick colorway since this is NT.

Why does he insist on wearing Kobe VI's so much?

my question to you: what do you do now?

fan free agent?
relocate your fandom to seattle?
reminisce of the pete chilcutt/spud webb days?

Originally not from seattle. Was born and raised in the Bay Area. Oakland 510. Moved to seattle 4 years ago.

 

[mmg]

So wait? It's official kings are moving to Seattle?

So lakers are officially the worst team in Cali?

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Honestly.... probably just reminisce... and if i lived any closed to Indiana I'd probably just be a Pacers fan again... but in all realness.... I might become a Clips fan 

 I was there and enjoyed them when they were **** awful 

 but I dunno how I feel about them now

So wait? It's official kings are moving to Seattle?

Its far from official

They're not moving until next season.

It ain't official

Kings barely has fans in the first place?

I've been to Arco Arena about 5 or 6 times in my life (from 2007 to 2011), and even while their franchise was hanging on to the skin of their teeth - fans were there in great amounts.

The initial move from Seatte to OKC is what damaged this of course, and I still feel as if OKC never deserved that team. It's going to happen again, when both KD and Westbrook are no longer on that team, you'll have a futile Thunder team failing to attract free agents - and ultimately being put in the same position Sacramento is in now. Mark my words. Give it 6-10 years.

It is funny how Sonics hate how an owner came in and moved the sonics.
But will be happy with an owner come in and move the kings. Lol
Hope they will get a new arena or something. Kings and Sonics played in dumps. Hence why they left. (I know there is more to it)

There are Laker fans all over the world, can't just **** on us because we choose to not support the Warriors.

I see that alot from Sonics fans around the internet, but most Seattle folks on NT are real with it. 

I notice a lot of outsiders on this board are a little more cynical... but thats to be expected any time they get a chance to **** on Sacramento

Source: Seattle groups offer was rejected by Maloofs. Hmmm. Plot thickening by the minute.

Except that's not really what's happening here.

No owner is "coming in" and moving the team. With the Sonics...they were sold to an owner who had intentions from day one to move the team to OKC.

Ya it is.......  You don't think the Seattle buyers don't have any intention to move the Kings to Seattle? 

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

His point is that there's no deceit on the part of the new owners. Everyone knows they're buying to go to Seattle, not to half-heartedly stay in Sac.
