Hall of Famer
Both CarmichaelDave and Amick have reported it. Wonder who the huge guest will be, and it's not Webb according to Amick. Vlade? More details tomorrow on Dons show.
 
I heard there was also gonna be some "big news" that is so exciting it make "bring a few people to tears"... hmm.

Damn the drama around here just never ends.

Watch the big surprise guest is Jim Crandall and the big new that will bring everyone to tears is that he's the new GM. No offense JC.

In all seriousness... this sounds quite intriguing...

Oscar Robertson??

... as part of the new marketing campaign created by McIntyre? Linking Sac to franchise roots?? Tons of creative marketing things always seem t be available and doable with such a fervent fanbase... now finally maybe the Kings are being "coached" to spend money on them and have the brainpower in place (from the NBA) now to do so. This announcement does seem to have NBA fingerprints on it.
 
Maybe it's Burkle announcing that he is funding the new downtown arena.
 
Unfortunately I also thought of Jim Crandell but I'm guessing either Vlade or Oscar. For people who don't know the achievements of Oscar Robertson, go look it up. He made the triple double routine.

Time passes.....

On second thought, after reviewing some interviews with Oscar, he's a nasty guy and I doubt has any love for his time with the Royals. Oooooh, his an angry guy. Love it.
 
Mitch Richmond? A Maloof will probably be there.

But, I'm personally holding out hope for Mateen Cleaves. NO ONE rallied more for the Kings than him! :eek:
 
You know what ... I dont want to get anyones hopes up, but that surprise could be the return of the black alternate jerseys. I mean, what other minor yet awesome thing could they possibly announce? they arent going to get an arena deal done by tuesday .. It could be some kind of ticket price reduction, but I think a new jersey is a solid guess.

Its been years now. They MUST know everyone has been asking about them ever since they left... it would be a good way to boost merchandise sales. Maybe they could put all the money from black jersey sales towards the arena? I dont know, it would be nice if they thought outside the box a bit though when it comes to funding the damn thing.
 
After thinking about I'm guessing it's probably going to be announcing some kind of group that has agreed to make a hard dollar committment to the Arena... this as a way to kick off the PR/fundraising campaign for the a downtown plan. But who if not Webb? I actually would not be surprised if it turned out to be Webb.

Actually that makes a lot of sense. Step one as a way to "give back to the fans" for their tremendous showing. This coming from teambo no doubt. Public relations repair job specialist. Except they'll make it look like it's the Maloofs granting it... as a way to neutralize bad feelings toward them.

Hopefully some sort of funding group will be announced. Carmichael Dave said CWebb won't be there because he'll be doing a TNT game. But did say he wouldn't be surprised if Webb made an appearance of some sort. Maybe via satellite?

Before my mind kicks into over drive is this a guest or more generically a huge surprise?
 
OP?

Just kidding.

I am going to try to be there for the first hour or so, but I have a 7 pm appointment I cannot change and at least a 45 minute drive to get there, so I hope I catch at least a good chunck of the good stuff.....
 
I am assuming funding for the arena is in place or something.. Which could also mean that the ICON thing, once done, could start the design phase and maybe break ground by late summer?

That's my best case scenario lol.

Thought I'd throw in a guess. I just remember Dave saying he'd most likely be getting Tesla involved if a celebration event was hap'nin...
