Whether a person stays a fan or not is up to them and perhaps some people can't explain their reasoning. I know I will be a fan until the day I die. I've followed this team since 1985 and now they are about to turn it around. They have a better chance of success down south in that free agents are far more likely to want to go to that area than this area. The Maloofs also will not be in so much of a financial squeeze. I doubt they will have fans like up here but if they do, that's fine too.
As the Lakers die of old age, the Kings will be maturing and could catch them fairly quickly unless the Lakers get some preferential treatment from the NBA. The Kings have a better chance of winning in the south and I know losing kills the Maloofs. They bought a team to win. I am not going to argue with cynics about the Maloofs. I have my own feelings about them and it's not open for discussion with me. I will not change.
If Jeremy keeps this site open, I'll be here.
I started the site in 1996 but it was not a forum like this. Jeremy was good at forums and with an exchange of papers, he took the site over and made it great.
