Especially since the "dark times" went on for years and years. I recently went to the very last (oldest) page in the OFF THE COURT forum, which dates to 2005. I've only been perusing these forums for a couple of years now, so I got a kick out of reading some of the old threads with discussions...

Not to mention that Lacob must have more or less given his blessing for Vivek to go after the Kings, and he most likely was a NO vote on relocation. Now, Vivek will probably be taking a chunk of the Warrior staff with him as well. Possibly Malone as coach, Schlenk as GM. Did I hear that Roger...

Brian May just tweeted that ESPN Sportcenter will do a live segment at about 5:30, interviews with KJ & Vivek.

Has anyone come across the schedule for the rally? Not going to be there but I'm able to watch about 90 minutes of it during a break this evening. Would obviously love to catch Vivek and the players (particular Webber). Guess I'll shoot for 6:30-8:00 unless anyone has any more specific info.

Ha! I've seen this thread before but had never clicked on it and had forgotten about it. So, I've never lived in Sac (currently about 90 minutes north) and growing up in Southern California (generally anyway) I was a huge Lakers fan. Went to lots of games at the Forum with my dad to see the...

Somehow missed it, but I do see it now. Thanks, I'll check it out!

I was searching but couldn't find one. The problem with individual threads are that they get buried and dissapear so easily. But I'm also aware that "introduce yourself" or "newbie" threads can be cheesy. Just wanted to put the suggestion out there. I have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot of...

I wasn't sure where to put this so I've stuck it down here in the Lounge for now. I was thinking that it would be cool to have a place on the board somewhere for fans to introduce themselves, or reintroduce themselves, and share a little about why they're Kings fans, where they live, what...

I kind of hope there's a rally or something at the downtown plaza before the wrecking balls come in. Not that I don't feel Chavez Park is an appropriate place for this week's rally, but it would be nice for fans (and people in the community) to say goodbye to the old mall and at the same time...

I thought a few of CD's tweets about Bucher were under the belt, until I heard what he actually said: http://soundcloud.com/deucemason/ric-bucher-bashes-sacramento That's all George Maloof needs is a friend in the media as delusional as he is.

One of the quieter investment partners that Vivek added recently was Naren Gupta: hmmm... a long lost half-brother, perhaps? Seriously, we couldn't have done this without Stern's active participation. Thank you sir.

I guess we should expect a Kings song from her... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbYBKbe5VgY she talks Kings toward the end of the video.

Opening night at the new arena will be sweet, but opening next next season at Arco will be the true celebration. It's going to seem like a whole new era has begun.

Is it too much to hope that the NBA approves HNB's purchase of the 7%, so that Vivek can get a "cash call" out of them to fund the temporary improvements to Arco?

total fabrication. Everything we've seen and heard has come out of a secret studio deep in the bowels of NBA headquarters. I mean, George Maloof? No way that guy's not an actor.

That string of tweets from Monty will help me to sleep easier today. "Tone deaf" is exactly what I've been thinking about Hansen/Ballmer over the last few weeks, and it's surprising considering how successful they are. The Maloofs have made them damaged goods, which has been obvious to anyone...

Right, but it sounds like they'd be open to negotiate with Vivek, not necessarily take the offer that is out there. The same games they've been playing for years with the arena negotiations. They probably want to drag it out and then in the end say they weren't able to work out a deal. No way...

That's what they need to focus on now-- what are they going to do with the maloofs. They're the ones that are continuing to make deals with Hansen/Ballmer. It may be true that the league didn't want Ellison to buy the Warriors and move them to San Jose, but ultimately it was former owner Cohan...

Just saw this beauty of a post from yesterday on Sonics Rising: "There's no MONEY in Sacramento. There’s no money for basic things and people are fleeing the city. It’s a city on the decline. Using their precious few dollars on an arena is like a man that spends all his money on a big diamond...

Why have an arena at all? Here's a business model they I'm sure they would get behind: The Bakersfield Jam (NBA D-League) were struggling filling seats and making money at Rabobank arena, so they moved into a new facility that only seats 750. The kicker is that no single-game tickets are sold...
