This is it -- it wasn't last year either. They spent several years, and several million dolars trying to get something done, Sacto's pols failed miserably as always. Nothing got done, the landswap was the last gasp, and I think from that point on the NBA decided Sacramento was not a major league city. That was not always so -- once upon a time Stern loved to talk about Sacto as a model franchise and how it should be etc. But the city killed itself. Things could swing back the other way though if KJ is successful in convincing them that you can actually build something out there.
Dont think this one has been posted yet http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=mc-spears_kings_last_game_in_sacramento_041411
I was away from TV, radio and the Internet all day today. Reading this thread has given me more reason to hope than I've had in quite a while. I didn't see it, but wasn't there some mention of Larry Bird also stating that he was supporting KJ and the efforts to keep the Kings in Sacramento?
Carmichael Dave's wife commended all Kings fans for not going "gently into that good night." It warms my heart to know that there's someone like Ron Burkle (my new major hero) out there who is willing to stand next to us in our fight to keep our beloved Kings.

I'm not really familiar with how regional stuff works in huge cities because I've never been to one. I suppose if it's really like different parts of the city have different identities then i could see how it would be a problem. I'm just looking at the fact that the New York metro area (which includes northern New Jersey) has 20 million people and should be able to support two teams.

I don't know, how money and business works but I understood that the maloof owe money to sacramento and some other things like the palms, and now anaheim voted to "loan" is it? the maloofs the money to pay off the relocation and I dont know what they are paying still... but isnt it a bad idea to pay off a loan with another loan? move to an already crowded city, with the uncertainty of the success of the product due to competition? in Sacramento they are the only sports team... if the arena is the only issue then wait it out a year. I have a feeling the arena, the team kj is building finally has legs and ready to run..
The money is there if they want to. its obvious they want to own a team but they are suffering financially, they already got rid of the monarchs, their beer thing and I don't know what else. just fold! and sell right?
