Looks like the Mayor is doing his press conference from the same place Stern did his.......and with the NBA background.

I wonder if Napear will still be slurping the kool-aid fed to him personally by the Maloofs.

Is this the nail in the coffin for small market teams?

A few remain... San Antonio, Mew Orleans Minnesota etc...

 

[PurpleHaze]

Looks like it will soon be live on Channel 10. Love the New 10 reporter in NY question on online feed. "James, what show are we breaking into?" Answer: "It's a soap opera, nobody cares."

Here's the mayor!

 

[ReinadelosReys]

Go kj!!!!

 

[Löwenherz]

It sounds like the Mayor is holding back tears

 

[rainmaker]

Bombs have been dropped. Holy s***.

 

[Bricklayer]

Supporting the team isn't going to do anything. The Maloofs are dead set on leaving and nothing will change that. The BoG gave the city one year to consruct a feasible plan for a new ESC. The city held up its end of the bargain, and we're still in the same place we were last year. To me, that speaks volumes. As long as the Maloofs are owners, I hope KJ and the city council cease any future negotiations with the team. The only thing that will keep the Kings in Sacramento is a change of ownership, not fan support or a new arena.

You have that all backwards.

the only thing that will keep the Kings in Sacramento is to keep on impressing the NBA so they stay on your side. The Maloofs cannot move without the sayso of the relocatoin committee. Supporting the team isn't about impressing the Maloofs. Screw them. Its about impressing the relocation committee. Keep them stonewalling the Maloofs for as long as possible until the Maloofs cave in one direction or another.

 

[ReinadelosReys]

"The irony of that statement is that they clearly told me they did not want to renovate the arena, wanted to be the talk of the town.

The said sometimes you change you mind. That's a direct quote. I think that speaks for itself"

 

[ReinadelosReys]

"The reps for the Kings were the NBA. We always responded in a timely manner"

 

[rainmaker]

Maloofs said, "sometimes people change their minds". WTF

 

[ReinadelosReys]

"We said we were going to be open and transparent.

There was a framework that we all agreed to. We have a joint press-conference....."

Gavin who is emotional breaks down

The Maloofs have already used the threat of an anti-trust lawsuit to get their way. Sorry, but fans showing up at games is not going to change the BoG's mind with the threat of a lawsuit impending.

Bottom line, no new arena=no team.

I hope you are not under the assumption that the city should continue to negotiate with the Kings.

 

[ReinadelosReys]

"I'm at PBP with Joe and Gavin raising hands!"

Thank you KJ

 

[fansinceday1]

Maloofs said, "sometimes people change their minds". WTF

Wow. That's just a kick to the junk.

 

[ReinadelosReys]

On meeting with Maloofs today: "It was relatively civil"

 

[rainmaker]

This is tough to stomach. Feel terrible for KJ.

 

[ReinadelosReys]

"This is about trust and credibility from my stantpoint."

 

[Löwenherz]

What businesses have relationships with Maloof Sports & Entertainment? Maybe we could encourage those companies to pull support from them.

 

[Tetsujin]

I love KJ like Grant loves IT

 

[ReinadelosReys]

The NBA has had industry experts analyze the deal. Other owners have come up to me and said wow.....The only ones who questioned the viability of the project was the Kings."

They had a consultant or economist that happens to represent Anaheim."

 

[Bricklayer]

Mayor speaks well and holds his composure.
