[kingjatt]

[TyFreak Evans]

Who in the blue hell is this dude???????

The dude that just stopped talking (thank god). Who in the hell is he????? He made very little sense....just took a bunch of garbage and threw it out there with very little to no substance at all...

 

[fansinceday1]

They're not saying why they agreed to this horrible horrible deal.

 

[ReinadelosReys]

This.

 

[Löwenherz]

You know, this would have still been crap, but would have at least been defensible if they did this in Orlando before calling it a "fair deal" and crying about how it was finally over.

 

[fansinceday1]

Can the maloofs really afford to own an NBA team. fixed it.

 

[gilly420]

Maloofs are friggin' SCUMBAGS! I dont want to give them one more cent

 

[ReinadelosReys]

OMG

ALL PARTIES said the March 1 deadline was negotiable.

"Could you show that we used a highlighter... it's important" - George Maloof

 

[Section 101]

The dude that just stopped talking (thank god). Who in the hell is he????? He made very little sense....just took a bunch of garbage and threw it out there with very little to no substance at all...

He's an economist that worked with the state controller. Like that is a good point to make, how did he help the economy? Oh he didnt,

He is an economist the Maloofs unearthed with over 10 years experience.

 

[fansinceday1]

My first question as a reporter: Why did you agree to this insulting, horrible deal that you felt the city couldnt afford?!?!? Everything else this guy is saying is bullS as far as im concerned.

 

[TyFreak Evans]

This. Sucks. A$$.

Maloofs. Can. Kiss. Our. A$$.

 

[ReinadelosReys]

Now I know where Grant Napear has gotten his notes for his show.

 

[Ryle]

If you think attendance is bad now wait for the next home game.

 

[ReinadelosReys]

WTF!!!!

The Kings didn't want to say there was an agreement!?!?!!?

WHY was Gavin in tears?!?!?!!!!!

 

[fansinceday1]

If you think attendance is bad now wait for the next home game.

Im right there with you but unfortunately it plays right into the maloofs hands. We're screwed.

 

[fansinceday1]

look at george back there nodding his head. Goof ball.

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

When is the mayor's press conference??? I can't wait till he tells them to kiss his ***!!!

 

[JB_kings]

Why does the term sheet matter if you've already declared that Sacramento isn't good enough for your team? All you are doing is admitting you tanked the negotiations on purpose.

 

[Löwenherz]

These men have no redeeming qualities

 

[ReinadelosReys]

WTF

Was Gavin at the city council where this termsheet that the MALOOFs did not agree to was voted on and approved?

 

[Löwenherz]

WTF

Was Gavin at the city council where this termsheet that the MALOOFs did not agree to was voted on and approved?

It was also posted in its entirety by the Bee and I thought it was read in full at the vote.

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

WTF

Was Gavin at the city council where this termsheet that the MALOOFs did not agree to was voted on and approved?

Exactly!!! Don't hi-five the city of Sacramento and then stab us in the back and twist the knife a month later!!!! Eff you Maloof family!!!!

 

[funkykingston]

Sounds like he's just talking around "sacramento is not a viable NBA market".

That's exactly what it sounds like. Probably something the Maloofs should have thought about when they bought the SACRAMENTO Kings. It was a good enough market when they bought the team but obviously in this day and age it can't compete with such metropolises as San Antonio, Oklahoma City, Salt Lake City, Memphis, Charlotte, Milwaukee, Orlando and Portland.

I'm 35 years old and I have now been a basketball fan for 3 decades. I watched the Lakers with my dad starting around 1st grade and I was hooked on the sport. I was beyond excited when a few years later in 1985 the news came down that Sacramento was getting it's own NBA team. I have supported the Kings for 27 years. 27 years in which they have had a winning record less than one third of the time (8 seasons from 1998 through 2005) and in which they have made the playoffs just over 10 times with 6 of them being first round losses. Yet I have supported this team.

And this is how my loyalty as a fan is repaid? With the Maloofs trying every way they can to blow up a deal that they already shook hands on?

Right now I'm hoping that something unprecedented happens. Because otherwise I can't see this arena ever getting built or MY team staying in Sacramento.

[Löwenherz]

Hey, reporters. You're not cooperating. We said no questions!

Sure they do. They can be melted down for suet.
