The title is misleading, he says it "will likely be the final weeks" not that it is.

Good to hear Sacramento's leader so optimistic in these trying times.

He's been in regular cntact with Stern as he can't talk to the Maloofs. I don't like him announcing such pessimism though.

He's always said he will tell it straight and not sugarcoat it. Rather have that than what we normally get from a politician.

Yeah, I think he's just passing on what he thinks from what he is privy to, no more, no less. It does depress me, though. Must really bother KJ that it's likley to happen on his watch. I'm sure he'd rather think they aren't going to leave.
