If I could say one thing to the residents of Virginia Beach, it would be "Be very careful what you wish for." I hope they do their research and learn the difference between the Brothers Maloof who first bought a controlling interest in the Kings and spent as much money as it took to put a winning team on the court and the Brothers Maloof who have lost their father's beer distributorship and all but 2% of the Palms, along with any kind of respect or good will they had earned with the people of Sacramento. The Maloofs won't be turning into the picture-perfect owners. They can't. That ship sailed - and crashed into the rocks and sank.
I think I'm finally getting to the point where I'm just tired of the whole thing. Life is too short to have this much drama without an end in sight. If it's not Virginia Beach, it will be yet another city clamoring to lure the Maloofs to their town. I'm tired of waiting for the shoe to drop.
I support Crown Downtown and their efforts but Sacramento is too good for the Maloofs. We deserve much better. Building an arena for them to use would be akin to rewarding the kid who soaped your windows by paying him to clean them up.
