On the Sonics Rising board people are talking about the team as if they are fans. I hope they stay fans after the team stays in Sacramento
It will be nice to have Sacramento Kings fans all the way up to the Canadian border.
Sadly though, they are not getting the Kings. They just don't understand that yet.
1. The BOG has already said they do not like to move teams, but they will move a team IF
a) There is ongoing issues getting an arena (which Sacramento will already have an arena deal in place and has already been signed off by the NBA)
b) There is no fan support (We don't even need to talk about Sacramento and Kings support do we?)
We have been through this all before with the potential move to Anaheim, and to a lesser extent Las Vegas and Virginia Beach. We are the victims of a-hole owners who tried to do everything to sabotage the team in order to get approved for a move.
Bottom line is that the Kings aren't going to move. There is NO reason to move the team to Seattle when we have an arena ready to be built, and fan support. Sonic fans will say "Well they sold the team to Ballchinboy wahhhhhh and he can do what he wants".... Uhhh.. WRONG! Don't you think if this was the case that teams would be moving all over the place whenever they were sold? Sorry, doesn't happen.
Look at the Warriors for example..
Remember Ellison got all pissy because he bid more than Guber and that he wanted to move the team to San Jose after he bought the Warriors? What happened there? Oh yah, The NBA approved the sale to Guber and the Warriors are in Oakland.
Anyway, bunch of random thoughts for the night after reading up on Sonics Rising. It's funny how confident they are.
They are about to fall big time and they don't even realize it. Idiots.
