AWESOME!! I was thinking the exact same thing when I was driving home from work today lol!! "I know everything he's got to say against me" lol funny how it fits.

You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo

ok so i have a few question to ask.

1. are you guys worried at all about Hansen knowing something we dont? because billionaires just dont go throwing away 30 million for nothing..yes he is microsoft but 30 mill is 30 mill

2. is it true that the seattle group is going to try to connect stockton and sacramento together? lol

$30 million is nothing and Hansen isn't Microsoft. Ballmer is Microsoft. Hansen is an investor who has been tied to things like Facebook and Pinterest.

EDITED to remove snark. - VF21

To be fair, VF21, it was a fair question from him. Seattle IS trying to make a connection between Sacramento and Stockton. They are trying to argue that Stockton is bankrupt and that the "Sacramento region can't afford to do the arena deal".

It is an extremely stupid point from Seattle, but it is something they are discussing. If that is something they are trying to use against Sacramento, it just shows how desperate they are.
 
Note: We've got discussion of the stupid 44,000 figure in three different threads. I'm going to take a minute and consolidate them into a separate thread. Please bear with me for a second or 6,000... ;)
 
lmao beautiful

What can he possibly say?

"Look at the facts. Did we deliberately tell Sacramento bidders that our team was not for sale when in fact it was? YES. Did we renege on our obligation to inform our minority partners of the deal reached with Seattle to prevent them from possibly exercising their ROFR? YES. Did we include provisions in the contract with Seattle (such as the $30M "non-refundable" deposit) that make it hard for a Sacramento group to match the offer and open up avenues for lawsuits against the NBA if the deal is not approved? YES. Have we begun subtly hinting to the media that perhaps we will not sell the team at all if the Seattle offer is turned down by the league? YES. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!? ARE YOU ****ING BLIND OR SOMETHING?!? KEVIN JOHNSON SCREWED US BY NOT ALLOWING US TO MOVE OUR TEAM TO ANAHEIM WHERE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN WORTH $100M MORE THAN IT IS NOW IN THE INFLATED HANSEN OFFER AND WE'RE GOING TO SCREW HIM BACK BY MAKING SURE THAT THE NBA LEAVES SACRAMENTO FOREVER!!! AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU PEONS IN THE NBA CAN DO ABOUT IT! I AM GEORGE MALOOF!!! I AM A DEVELOPER!!! I HAVE SPOKEN!!!"

Gee, I think that'd be pretty great for us, no?

In the interest of fairness, I removed my snarky comment.
 
Dave Lucchetti info from SactownRoyalty:

Dave Lucchetti is the son-in-law of the late great Fred Anderson. The same Fred Anderson who was a former minority Kings owner. Who was also involved in the Modesto A's, Sacramento Surge and Gold Minors and deeply involved in keeping and bringing sports to the Sacramento area. Fred & Dave were & are truly wonderful philanthropists as well.

Very huge.. I heard part of the battle was which city was more "arena ready". Personally I thought we were anyway because we have the infrastructure all ready there but any negative pub on Seattles' part is good for Sac.
 
Watch the 7% we just got will be "worthless" again. I love the Seattle fans flip flop. We first brought up the 7%, they laughed, then they bid on it, it became a huge deal and now the spin will be....

It would have been awesome for guys like Mitch, Webb, Shaq, Barkley and all the others that have been public about supporting the team to show up in NY for support. They don;t have to speak, but them just showing up could show that basketball personalities (ex players) want the Kings in Sac.

Also, it would be nice to see Aaron Rodgers there.

I'm confident that the NBA knows that there is support for the Sacramento Kings from those people you've mentioned. Furthermore, I wouldn't be surprised if they have contacted the NBA either by telephone or e-mail expressing their support for the Kings to remain in Sacramento.
 
Let me tell you, as quality of a fanbase as we are, we have not deserved any of this. Aside from retaining the Kings we better get an nhl/mls team as compensation from karma from going through this
 
I'd rather see the NBA All-Star weekend in Sacramento the year after the arena is opened, to be honest.
