I think it's important to note that there are a few dots being connected in the SI article that are not actually stated as connected in the original WoJo report. WoJo says that:
1) Stern wants basketball in Seattle
2) Ballmer wants to buy the Kings
3) The league has been raising pressure on the Maloofs to sell

The items are juxtaposed so as to imply that the league wants the Kings to be sold to Seattle, but that claim is NOT explicitly made. We know that Sacramento has groups that would be interested in buying (Burkle for one) and that being willing to sign on to the arena deal as previously constructed would go a long way towards earning NBA approval. Seattle may very well be looking at an expansion team when all is said and done. There's nothing here that says "panic".
