Report: Maloofs will file for relcation on Monday IF owners are receptive today
- Thread starter ReinadelosReys
- Start date
Exactly. Many unknowns. There will still be a chance that the team continues to be bad but improving and the Sacramento economy will NOT improve all contributing to lousy attendance. Now that the Kings are still in Sac and the fans have been saved will the fans sell it out each and every night?? What I'm trying to say is, OK, Sac got its team back... but now what??? A new arena? Maloofs sell? A buyer takes the team? So many unknowns.
If the Anaheim deal falls through and the kings finally are able to build an arena in Sacramento, I will fly up from LA for the home opener(in whatever year it gets built 
)
)
Take it in full context. funkykingston was referring to LAL,LAC and GS bring against the move. I added plus Mavs and Portland voted against the sonics move. What part of plus is confusing?

Seattle is not Sacramento. Situations are much different. Seattle said flat out "No, we will not build a new arena with public money, period, end of story". Sacramento has actively been trying to get something done even if they keep stumbling over themselves.
OKC was a new market that showed itself to be hungry for the NBA. SoCal is already served by two teams and the reaction ranges from "meh" to "Cool, cheap Lakers tickets" to a handful of Kings fans who are like "Awesome" and trying to convince themselves that all the casual fans in Anaheim will jump on board even if the Lakers are still the better team.
Seattle/OKC had new NBA approved management and the move was already whispered prior to the sale. The Maloofs appear to be broke and putting non-NBA interests ahead of the basketball ones. Maybe that's not true, it sure appears that way. That is not something that will be smiled upon. You can get kicked out of the good ole boys club at any time.
Seattle sued and tangled up the move, delayed it a year and forced all kinds of concessions out of the team including forcing them to change their name. Sacramento has made it clear they are willing to play that card and if the Maloofs are really just trying to get some quick cash out of this they may find moving winds up costing them a whole hell of a lot more.
OKC was a better arena deal. Anaheim will be a tenancy in an arena that will still probably rank in the bottom 25% of the league.

Yep, I figured I'd not bring that up since inevitably someone would say that Q&R proved the voters were against a Sacramento arena instead of the possibility that they didn't like the specifics or uncertainty surrounding the deal while ignoring the symbolism behind KJ's election. They probably would have gotten away with it too had team ownership not changed hands.
