Division winners 1-5 and opponents and remaining seeds determined by records, not locations.While I kind of like conferences, this would be really nice for me in that it would slash the number of T-Wolves games played two hours behind. Also fewer playoff games (should the Wolves ever make the playoffs again) starting at 10PM.

rvrdgsfn Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 http://www.sbnation.com/nba/2013/1/9/3857168/kings-sale-seattle-finalizationThe sale of the Sacramento Kings to a Seattle group headed by hedge fund manager Chris Hansen and Microsoft chairman Steve Ballmer is on course but still a long way from being finalized, according to multiple reports.Dave Mahler of of Seattle Sportsradio 950 AM reports that sources indicate the deal is moving smoothly, but there is no imminent announcement to come. Assuming all goes as the two sides planned, the deal should be completed by the end of January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvrdgsfn Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 BUMP:It seems Mayor KJ thinks otherwise.... Or this could be too little too late?http://www.sactownroyalty.com/2013/1/9/3857812/mayor-kevin-johnson-press-conference-notes-were-going-to-fight-likeToday is a significant day for our community because for the first time it appears that the Kings are for sale. This is significant because for the past 27 years the community has staunchly supported both the NBA and the Kings. Last year, the City presented a deal that was approved by the NBA that would keep the Kings in Sacramento, increase the value of the franchise, and create additional jobs and economic growth in Sacramento and the region as a whole. Following in the steps of our previous efforts, I plan on making every effort to identify a potential buyer that would ensure the Kings remain in Sacramento.

DaytonBlue Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I'm happy for Seattle, but dismayed for Seattle.I sure hope all the history goes back/stays in Seattle; none of this "shared history with OKC" business.The Thunder should make their own history, which they already have started. Hope that first OKC/Sonics 2.0 game in Seattle is on National TV.

Hope that first OKC/Sonics 2.0 game in Seattle is on National TV.Then what happens to the Kings history? I'm sorry but the best scenario would be the Jets/Thrashers deal. Kings become Sonics but maintain their long existing history. Thunder take the Sonics history for themselves for good. The shared or just give them the history thing ala Cleveland Browns would have worked if Seattle were getting an expansion team. But it doesn't work with an existing team coming in.

MellowTheMyth Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I always had a feeling they'd take Sacramento to Seattle eventually. It will definitely be sad for Sacramento whenever it goes through. I just hope that they do this new Seattle franchise justice, and aren't just doing this to say they've brought a team into Seattle because of nostalgic purposes only. Do it right.

Mac the Knife Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 On a completely unrelated note, who in their right mind pays half a billion dollars for an NBA franchise? Hell, the Boston Celtics only went for $ 360 million, and that's a Chicago Cub-like franchise (i.e., one you simply can't screw up to a point where you alienate the fan base). Sacramento/Seattle would be an entirely different story, and one that's certainly not worth $ 500,000,000 to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's not technically part of the price. Not clear if the relocation fee is in the price however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
