Is it even possible at this point for Maloofs to kill deal with Seattle group? What is the point in accepting other offers beyond nonsensical Maloofian reasons?
Im not sure of they can kill the deal or not. But I would see this deadline doing 3 things for the Maloofs.
First, if Sacramento declines to submit an official offer to the maloofs, it would theoretically allow them to make the case that there is only one official offer out there, instead of competing offers, so they would point to that as a reason that the BOG shouldn't kill the only offer they have.
Second, if they get an offer from sac that is equal or higher than Hansen, this could possibly give them a chance for a last minute scramble to have Hansen's bid increased.
Third, if the offer is low, it will give them time to research anti trust litigation options, and hope the threat of that would swing a few votes their way
