League sources say owners offered to pay Hansen-Ballmer group the $30 million non-refundable deposit they paid the Maloofs. They declined
Hmmm... I thought the initial arrangement is that we were going to take 30 million off from what we payed the Maloofs to reimburse Hansen ourselves... If this isn't the case, the first thing I would look at as if this is earnest money towards expansion or getting the league to do something for HBN, but it the funds are staying with the MAloofs? Something doesn't strike me as right with Hansen declinging 30 big ones

Don't know if there's a more appropriate place to put this, so I'll put it here:
Decided to tune into Napear's radio show online to hear what else he had to say about the sale and whatnot. He made a point of mentioning in the beginning that he would not allow his show to be used to trash the Maloofs on the way out, which I have no beef with. He said that if listeners were expecting him to trash them, then they had tuned into the wrong show, and I'm cool with that, too. But then he said that if that's what people wanted, meaning to call in to trash the Maloofs, then there are plenty of other shows that they can tune into, and I've got to call shenanigans on that.
Help me out, local Kings Fans: Are there any other stations in the Sacramento area, that you can actually tune into to hear about the Kings? I was under the impression that 1140 is the only game in town?
So how many here are planning on getting season tix?
I for one can't wait. We gave ours up at the beginning of last season. I can't wait to attend a maloof free event at arco.

Season tickets aren't possible for me, but I do plan on attending as many games as possible. I'd love to see some KF group events like the good old days, before many of you were members. It was fun!
No, there's no other sports radio shows locally that one could call into - so more repeated BS from Napear. He's on the defensive, knows his livelihood at least locally is up in the air. He as much said so, admitting does not know Kings new ownership group, has yet to meet with them, but hoping to sell them on retaining his services. So many of the callers to his show are drooling all over him of late it seems call screener must be heavily censoring who gets through, who doesn't.
I have been as critical of Grant Napear as anyone on this board, but you're taking this to a whole other level. Your consistent attacks on him, both professional and personal, seem to be anchored in some personal conflict with him. Is this really the place for it?
Sorry, but I think you're off-base.
I tend to think he's accurate in that particular assessment. He's using his show as a place to sell himself with the drooly callers. It's kinda obvious.
As of the end of this season, I've spent 50 years as a fan of this team. I'm thrilled about looking forward to 51.
... and I must admit that I'm sort of disappointed that someone already posted Ding Dong the Witch is Dead in this thread, because I was going to post it as perfectly summarizing my mood.
Grant's really excited about this guest, which means it's probably just Mateen.

If I had known you wanted the privilege I would gladly have deferred to seniority. Glad to see you here!As of the end of this season, I've spent 50 years as a fan of this team. I'm thrilled about looking forward to 51.

Reports were always that it was a non-refundable deposit, and presumably that meant that even if the deal didn't go through because the BOG denied the relocation or sale, the Maloofs would keep that deposit.Maybe the Maloofs had to refund the money to Hansen because the league voted down the relocation? The deal was always contingent on league approval.
