Yes, their intent was to move. They were also incompetent in that. They fielded a team too good and couldn't move. They may have had evil intent in terms of moving but in their early years they put money into the team and put a product on the floor that made Sacramento proud. Vivek on the other hand "may" have his heart in the right place and has opened his wallet like the Maloof's did initially but the product he has fielded has yet to be anything but a joke (HOPEFULLY THAT CHANGES THIS YEAR).
Magoofs awful? Yes and then some but all time awful? No and I give you exhibit A: Donald Sterling.
