It kind of feels like its an NBA game, 100-0 with 1 second left.

That is the key my friend.
This is a miracle but we're not done yet. The maloofs will keep trying to maloof us. I will not pop the champagne until I get the word that the maloofs are OFFICIALLY out of the picture.

It is pretty funny reading the comments by those cocky SOB's over at "that other site". They were so sure and so snide about this whole thing.

Some are taking the "NBA screwed us AGAIN angle," while completely missing the fact that the NBA only voted to not screw us.

clueless to the very end. Maybe if they would have fought for the sonics as hard as sac fought for the kings they might still have their team.
They'll eventually end up with a team. Milwaukee, Atlanta, or an expansion team. JUST NOT OUR TEAM!!!!
I was getting too anxious sitting and waiting for an answer so I took a long walk and came back to see 4 new pages of comments in this thread which meant that a decision was made and leaked. Took a deep breath and started reading.
Awesome news. Absolutely awesome. And the vote being unanimous is huge. I didn't expect it to be a split vote, but 12-0 is huge. That's nearly half the official votes needed in the BOG vote.
I also realized that the same time I was opening this thread with anxiousness and trepidation, a lifelong Sonics fan was refreshing Sonics Rising in the same manner but with a very different outcome.
The stress of the situation has pitted two great fanbases against one another and a vocal minority has certainly engendered ire on both sides, but at the end of the day, while I'm incredibly happy to keep my Kings, I do feel for the true Sonics fans.

Ditto that.
Yes... I expect to see some more Maloofery before the Clowns finally give up and sell or the league steps in and takes over.

this is exceptional news!! i had certainly hoped that the finance/relo committee would vote in favor of sacramento, but i wasn't expecting a unanimous decision. it should make the road to the final vote considerably more smooth for sacramento. it's rather difficult to imagine the BoG as a whole moving against the grain of an 11-1 vote by their own committee...
GO KINGS!!!!!!

If Mike ever pays for a beer himself in this city, that will be a travesty. Same with CDave, even though he doesn't drink.

I think it's done. I expect nothing. Just an opinion. The Maloofs are children in a big man's game and maybe it is dawning on them .................. finally.
Dave loves his soda.
As he just said on his radio show, "Today the good guys win."
