The Maloofs are finalizing an agreement to sell the Sacramento Kings to the Hansen-Ballmer led Seattle group, sources tell Yahoo! Sports.

I'm so sorry Samurai, it suck that you're losing The Kings.
And I'm so sorry Blacace, it sucks that you're getting The Kings.

That's just a front for the cameras, you just know in the locker room he isn't all smiles & handshakes.

lol i know,i just like that gif.
I would assume so.
I honestly don't follow the draft much, since I haven't had much reason to for the last 3 years. I'm only kinda paying attention this year because of the Toronto pick.
Congrats Seattle fans, sorry Kings fans.jbug617 said:

Sacramento should make a bid for the Grizzlies. It's the California state bear after all.
I think you have those reversed.

Their lease is year-to-year, I believe. They can move to Seattle for next year.
They should realign the divisions to put Seattle in the Northwest.

Samurai give me your contact info. Next time I am in Sac we can go to Shoki's and get drunk on Saki and Noodle bowls.

Move the Thunder to Sacramento
Ba-dum *tish*
What a terrible franchise though. Hopefully Ballmer will put somebody good in charge to resurrect the franchise like Presti.
But damn, the cupboard is bare. Bad team, weird roster, no surefire stars in the next draft...
But then who gets moved into the Pacific? I guess OKC fits there as well as they fit in the Northwest.Rodeo Clown said:

Yeah, Seattle retained all that stuff, logo, name, etc. The banners and whatnot are in a museum.

Samarai come join lakers-age. You get to start with a team in Cali starting from scratch!
Wouldn't he roll over to Golden State based on proximity?

They're also the much better basketball team as well.

That's a punk move. He's got to go with the rebuilding team.
Welcome to Lakers-age Samurai.
It sucks for Kings fans, and here's my bias talking -- and the fact that this doesn't sound like a shady fucking deal -- I have to wonder:
1) The Kings were going nowhere with the Maloofs at the helm
2) It's one less team in Cali (good thing) and one more team in the NW (great thing)

Just imagine how different history would have been if Stern didn't rig Kings - Lakers.

Damn Maloofs, screw an entire city/area out of a franchise just because they're too damn cheap to pay a small fee that they agreed to pay anyways. And then they end up making out like bandits at the end...
Good to see Seattle get a team back though.

Holy shit, sorry samurai.
Wonder if the sonics will get uniform updates.

They'll be a lot more valuable in Seattle than Sacramento. Especially after they move into the new arena.

Sure, but there are only 3 teams in the league with a value of $500 million or more: the Bulls, Knicks, and Lakers.
Seattle's a big city, but probably not big enough to make that kind of investment a surefire win (although obviously there are considerations other than money with this kind of purchase).
Plus the team will probably be really bad for the foreseeable future, which could dampen enthusiasm.

I don't care if the Clippers win 5 championships. They will never be this great city of ours team.
Never. They are leaches. And will always play like the name on the front, not on the back!!!!!!!!!
