bosrs1 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 The Maloofs have pulled off the impossible: I hate them more then I hate Kobe.If I were them I'd stay away from Arco Arena the rest of the time the team is still in Sac. Not a threat, just a realistic observation based on the level of anger I'm reading on Kings message boards. They have :censored:ed Sac in a way I don't think any other owners in sports could match. I mean Sac did EVERYTHING right, provided all the funds they were asked to, politicians put their careers on the line for these bozos, and they sabotaged their own project (for at least the 3rd time if you're really counting). Even Irsay and Bud Adams weren't that big of douchebags... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Well, at least if the Kings do move the Maloofs won't have that excuse where they can say, hey, at least we tried. If they move at this point, there is absolutely zero good press that can come to the Maloofs. Hopefully the NBA nixes their shot at moving and they're forced to sell. I barely watch pro basketball as it is, but if the Kings end up moving due to the stupidity and selfishness of the Maloofs, I'm washing my hands of the sport for good.

May or may not be to Anaheim. In all likelyhood it will, but either this year or next will be the last season of Sacramento Kings basketball I would say with near certainty.

They're 2 months beyond the move submission deadline which means the team will likely have to play at least one lame duck season. Hopefully my fellow Kings fans join me in boycotting Arco Arena. With no ticket revenues the Maloofs might just go bankrupt before next March if the rumors of their pending destitution are to be believed.

If they average 10,000 a game next year playing in Sacramento I would say it would be alot.That being said though what the financial situation of the Maloffs is I have no clue other then its not as good as it was a few years ago. We know most of their money was tied into real estate investments in Las Vegas which was one of the worst investments you could have made in this economy. They've had to sell The Palms which was their biggest holding. How close they are to bankrupcy is unkown but they could be doing better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only other thing the city would need to build would be practice facilities, which probably wouldn't start until the team declared a move. | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've had to sell The Palms which was their biggest holding. How close they are to bankrupcy is unkown but they could be doing better.Problems you have though are that Anaheim won't be NBA ready until January, Stern has said next season will be played in Sac, the deadline of course has long past, and they'd still need to get the owners together to vote on a move which isn't likely for a while (and will require a fair amount of lobbying on the Maloofs part since the NBA isn't keen on having 3 LA based teams (yes Anaheim you're LA whether you like it or not)), not to mention the lack of lead time at this point for the particulars of a move. If it happens it'll be next March 1 that they get final approval. But it seems a move is inevitable at this point. Sacramento's leaders are done with the fools running the team, and while it pains me to see them move, I don't blame Sac. I'd tell the Maloofs to go castrate themselves with spoons too.

The same forces that killed the Anaheim move last year haven't changed. Look for the league to force the Maloofs out as soon as New Orleans is handed off to someone else.

ninersdd Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 The Maloofs have made seemingly NO attempts to upgrade the team for ages it seems like. It's because of them I'm forced to root against somebody (the Lakers) every playoff season now instead of rooting for the Kings. I remember I wasn't happy every year with the Niners not making it, but the NBA is where over half the teams make it every year, yet for 6 straight years, the Kings haven't even been close to the playoffs. Just a sickening feeling with your team that your owners don't care about fielding a competent product every freakin' year.

The_Admiral Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 It's the NY/LA/Chicago bloc + Golden State that really doesn't want any more doubling or tripling up of existing markets. There's a lot of lobbying power among those owners. Anaheim's not gonna happen. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Maloofs' name may be on the stationary, but Samueli would be running the show in all actuality in the event of an Anaheim move.EDIT-You know, the fact that the NBA finalized the flipping of the Hornets today to Benson as well possibly indicates they are indeed prepping to take the Kings over.

And the Maloofs have made no overtures to that end yet. Despite the fact they're acting poor in the arena negotiations they've not yet declared bankruptcy or done any thing else that would allow the NBA to take over.

Rockstar Matt Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 LA does not need three teams. Even they moved to Anaheim, would they still keep the name the Kings? It'd be weird considering there is a hockey team with the same nickname. The Kings need to stay in Sacramento or move to Seattle and become the Supersonics, moving to Anaheim is the wrong thing to do.
