Kings: Why did the NBA deny Sacramento to Seattle?

[baseline bum]

Amazing how ty the Pacers' attendance is. That's one of the best teams in the East, and they can't sell out on a regular basis? The ing Bobcats sold more tickets. Indiana doesn't deserve that team.

That makes no sense. I mean Indianapolis surely hasn't gotten killed by the housing bust as badly as Sacramento. They have a strong and successful team filled with pretty likeable players in a beautiful modern stadium.

Apparently Sacramento's new ownership agreed to limit how much they take from the revenue-sharing agreement in the short run, and give it up completely once they move into new arena, a potentially huge financial upside for many of the current owners (although once the franchise moved to Seattle, they probably would have paid into the revenue-sharing rather than take from it)...so money had a lot to do with it...
