Did anyone else hear the Maloofs press release? It was just read on KCRA & I was very surprised at the tone. It said they are very frustrated, that they've put together 7 plans over the last 6 years and they've all been defeated. It said that they have no idea where to go from here, that they have no other plan and will seek guidance from the NBA. Absolutely nothing warm and fuzzy at all. Not one positive thing. No "we are still committed to the city." No "We'll work it out." Just gave the overall impression that they'd been wronged and were hurt and confused.
It surprised me that they are acting as if this is their defeat when they have not made any effort to support these measures, and, if anything, have sabatoged efforts to get these passed. I respect their right not to support something that they don't believe in, but why are they acting hurt and disappointed that the measures didn't pass???? I am so confused. I have maintained all along that the Maloofs want to keep the Kings hear, but I'm starting to lose faith. When I heard Joe say that they don't want to stay somewhere they aren't wanted it made me wonder if all this build up, the failed measures, the hurt feelings over the d*mn commercial, is their way of justifying leaving. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm getting a bad feeling about this.
