Congratulations. You and Kingsfan23 have managed to drive someone away who had been a member of this forum since before the great crash of 2004. (His join date of Sept. 2004) should have been a give-away.
What is the matter with you guys? You're acting no better than those jerks on sonicsrisinig. This is an embarrassment. We have a great board here and yet you decide WITHOUT BOTHERING TO NOTIFY THE MODERATORS that someone is a Seattle troll and set about to drive him away?
Good grief...

Grant Napear is not from Sacramento and makes no bones about it - still claiming to be a Kings fan. Years ago he said on his radio show he wasn't a Kings fan, only teams paid TV announcer. Just like he now boasts of being big supporter of the grass roots efforts to keep Kings in Sacramento. Napear is two-faced, lying, traitorous punk. He's from New York City and we get that obvious boring, blatant, bias, constantly on his local sports radio show which is all about his NY Giants, his NY Yankees, his New York Rangers over OUR Giants, A's, 49ers, Raiders, Sharks. I hate the weasel Napear just about as much as I despise hideous Maloofs!
Just as a last note I've been on this board for 9 years now. I thought this place was for Kings fans, not just the town but the team. Speak one opinion and that's what I get. Recommended this board to a few folks. I've seen Laker fans get treated better. Well alrighty then looks from like this isn't the place for me. See y'all.
If I could take the infraction for you I would. 
I only have one, and I have been much higher than one infraction in the past lolIt just got to me that a guy with "Sac" in his name and who was a Kings fan admittedly claimed he wanted the team moved. Had to have been a hacked account because I can't believe anyone claiming to be a kings fan would be so uninformed on our situation.
lol During the Evans draft I had so many of them that I never knew which one was going to be the last one before they flipped my ban switch. It's cool though, thanks I only have one, and I have been much higher than one infraction in the past lol

I'm embarrassed, Gary. We aren't the kind of board that drives people off because they bring up a different POV.
Read his posts again.. How he underlined certain words, and how his views are that of someone back in January. It's obvious he has not kept up on the situation so allowing him to discuss this as if he had "valid points" is just ludicrous unless we had a time machine take us back 5 months and wipe our memory.
Also, you're a mod... Check his IP address. Does it come from the PNW?
Been catching up on "The Walking Dead". I guess I'm the "Merle" of the board... He's a friggin awesome character.
I'm an idiot because I stopped watching after the first season. I am going to be caught up tonight and let me say.. WOW. The Walking Dead is simply the best show on television.

I understand your probably a good guy dude, but your views are just inflammatory.. It's like being on a christian board, having 3000+ posts and start having a pro-satanist viewpoint on an issue... You might be cool, and you might have had good take on other issues, but now you are disrupting the peace.. This isn't a trade, where there are numerous view points on the benefits to the franchise.. This is about this community losing its team, and there are certain issues where the first ammendment should not apply.
You gotta do what you gotta do. He comes in with pro Sonics views from five months ago and expects people to be rational with him. First off he isn't even trying to discuss anything that's even relevant now, and second, he's a troll.
Yes yes, I know, you don't think he's a troll.
Anyhow. Have a good evening. I am off to eat some grub and watch the last two episodes of Walking Dead.
Out of line or not, I just don't want this board to get polluted with his kind of nonsense. If that gets me in trouble while scaring off a person who doesn't give a crap about us then so be it.

If you are a Kings fan, and I have no reason to doubt you are given your long term membership of this site, please understand that if this team moves to Seattle it will NOT BE THE KINGS.
The entire Kings history would go into a box somewhere and the current Kings would adopt the Sonics history pre-OKC move. Only a handful of Kings memories would transition, probably somewhere around 2010/2011 where most of the earliest roots of the current roster exist.
No arenas in the NBA would display the retired numbers of Mitch, Chris and Vlade. Gone also would be Nate, Oscar and the other greats that played for the organization prior to Sacramento.
If you are a KINGS fan, you have to be against this move. Because if this move took place there would be no Kings except in the history books.

This is a stressful and frustrating time for Kings fans. Honestly, we saw similar views as the one you espoused above when the talk was of relocation to Anaheim. In both cases, people FROM the Sacramento area were upset at the notion of losing their team. But at that time there were fans who thought a move to Anaheim could be good for the franchise as a whole. Bigger market, more money etc.
I think there are two fundamental differences between then and now. One is that the team would have been the Anaheim Royals. Not the Kings per se, but still holding onto the legacy of the franchise. The other is that there was not existing arena deal in Sacramento and now there is. Not just a deal to build an arena, but one that would revitalize the city of Sacramento which the majority of posters here have a connection to.
If the Maloofs sold to HBN it very well might mean a very successful team in Seattle. But it wouldn't be the Kings. It would be a reborn Supersonics with all of the Kings/Royals history discarded. If push came to shove I might have been able to root for the Anaheim Royals. But the Seattle Sonics? Nope. Why would I? The entire point of the relocation is for them to to become another franchise with it's own history.
I don't think many Kings fans would be willing to become a Sonics fans. But to each his own.

Sadly not. There IS NO WAY the NBA can let the Maloofs leave the meeting with the team in their possession. There is a very, very ugly back up plan in place for Hansen. The BM and H/B KNOW that if the team stays in Sac with them as owners quite literally no one will attend games. More to the point is has become abundantly clear that Hansen HAS to have a team in Seattle ASAP to keep from loosing big on his Arena con. It seems highly likely that the Maloofs will move the team Seattle with or with out permission ala Bud Sterling and then settle the rest in court, under the assumption that any resolution will not include some forced relocation back to Sac. Then they just play out the course of action that says since we are now up in Seattle you might as well let us sell. I have no idea how likely this scenario is but don't think its not in the play book as one of several options.
