News from the NBA BOG meeting - April 2012
- Thread starter Warhawk
- Start date
That's exactly what it sounds like. Probably something the Maloofs should have thought about when they bought the SACRAMENTO Kings. It was a good enough market when they bought the team but obviously in this day and age it can't compete with such metropolises as San Antonio, Oklahoma City, Salt Lake City, Memphis, Charlotte, Milwaukee, Orlando and Portland.
I'm 35 years old and I have now been a basketball fan for 3 decades. I watched the Lakers with my dad starting around 1st grade and I was hooked on the sport. I was beyond excited when a few years later in 1985 the news came down that Sacramento was getting it's own NBA team. I have supported the Kings for 27 years. 27 years in which they have had a winning record less than one third of the time (8 seasons from 1998 through 2005) and in which they have made the playoffs just over 10 times with 6 of them being first round losses. Yet I have supported this team.
And this is how my loyalty as a fan is repaid? With the Maloofs trying every way they can to blow up a deal that they already shook hands on?
Right now I'm hoping that something unprecedented happens. Because otherwise I can't see this arena ever getting built or MY team staying in Sacramento.
