What is the allure of Anaheim

[Kingsfan23]

What exactly would be the Maloofs supposed motivation for risking their family name and screwing over a fanbase in a supposed ongoing attempt to move this team to Anaheim? Obviously the market is larger and they would stand to benefit from bigger broadcasting deals. There is a lot bigger corporate base.. Adrienne Maloof stars on the Real Housewives of Orange County, solidifying the social ties the Maloof family has to the area.. The Kings are the Maloofs last major assett, and they might see their profitability as their last ticket to financial prominence.. but I am a novice on this issue, so if someone can shed some light onto why we might see the Maloofs stall every attempt of Sacramento trying to save their team in a clandestine bid to move this team in Anaheim over the next 1-3 years?

No offense but this topic has been discussed to death. For that reason I'm closing this thread. You can find lots of information about Anaheim in some of the older threads in this forum. Thanks.

I went back almost a year and found this thread:

http://www.kingsfans.com/forums/sho...NBA-deal-or-no-deal-Which-will-Maloofs-choose

I've reopened this one, and maybe other Kings fans can help you find more articles to explain the "allure of Anaheim."

Wow, thanks for the change of heart VF21, I wasn't trying to annoy you. I just thought this thread was important in exposing the Maloofs.

No problem. This whole thing has been a part of my life for so long I forget that not everyone has been mired in it for longer than they care to remember.

It's a great market for a second NBA team. Too bad they already have one and their city of choice is LA and not Anaheim. Even the baseball team prefers to be called LA while living in Anaheim. I don't doubt for a second the Maloofs would prefer to use the LA nma e and be there too. Close enough in their eyes maybe. Perhaps if this goes through and the Warriors move to SF, they can adopt the Golden State name to avoid using Anaheim?
