Different issue when you word it that way. I don't disagree with you to a certain extent. But I believe it was P.T. Barnum that said, "There's a fool born every minute". Unfortunately was he's right. Ask yourself this. Lets say the Kings move, and five years from now, the city has a new arena built, and a team moves to sacramento. Will the fans stay away because they were stabbed in the heart five years earlier, or will they jump at the chance to embrace a new team?
I don't have the answer to that question, but my guess is that the fans would flock to the arena. And if so, then how much damage did the league actually do to its fanbase.
Definitely, but in those 5 years the NBA gets nada from me.
