It's just funny to see how a couple of business men from Oklahoma can cause so much havoc in Seattle lol

[HI-FI]

they should just get it overwith. it's sad Sacramento gets ed over, but ultimately the NBA and Stern especially made a mistake moving a team out of Seattle to OKC.

[TDMVPDPOY]

how much did they sold the team in the first place? how many years has past already?

lol bad investment wankers

Considering that the Supersonics went from a bottom feeder team that couldn't even get their own fanbase excited about them to the top team in the league that garners ratings around the country; I'd say it was pretty solid.

Also OKC Thunder price tag: 350 Mil
Sacramento Kings price tag: 625 Mil

Of course I'm ing mad, Westbrook is a promising extremely compe ive young athlete that could achieve great things if he developed right; it's ing painful to see someone like him or Rose have a knee injury in their prime. I don't ing expect you to be able to relate but it really ing pains me to see something like this to happen to anyone; this year's playoffs, you don't know what can happen with a ing knee injury and it all happened on a stupid play that could of been avoided.

[TDMVPDPOY]

even if t hey buy the team and get it, no way that team will be worth 625m....

[Clipper Nation]

First of all, Hansen's just buttdevestated that the NBA doesn't want to let him steal the team.... again, if it was only about money to the NBA, he would already own the Kings...

Second of all, how on Earth would he actually make any money out of this? $625 million? Is he insane? He seriously can't just wait for Adam Silver to take over and the new TV rights deal to be negotiated and try to get an expansion team then?

You better hope they dont get a team or they will make it their mission to spoil Oklahoma's future plans.

This rivalry would be sweet.

Dude is a hedgefund manager, he has millions to waste. But if the sale goes through there's a good chance it's going to bankrupt him and Seattle.

Not going to lie I'd love to see it, mostly because there's no way in the Kings will ever get up to OKC's level

625m go buy a euro soccer club and fill it with german NT players...you get ur money back and start winning..

this clown is fail, a small market team like seatle is not worth the effort, money and trouble

Some people are blind with pride. When you've managed to ac ulate a net worth over a billion dollars it's hard to imagine failing at anything.

[dunkman]

If he keeps the team long enough, he may recoup his investment.
But he's buying it for fun too, must have more efficient ways of making money.

It will be good to see how the Kings react.

A franchise that has drafted some good players with high picks, must be worth much more then an expansion franchise. Seattle already had Durant when bought.

That has jack to do with moving. Unless you believe standing up like a bunch a 2 year olds before your team makes a shot, actually make your team better

It has a ton to do with the ownership, if you look into interviews with past players a lot of them will about how Schultz tried to run his franchise like his coffee empire and none of the players could tolerate his . As OKC has proved premier players couldn't give two s about where they play, they can travel to LA and Southh Beach whenever the they want in the summer to what ever es they want. What they won't tolerate is having to deal with ty management and coaches who won't give them what they want.The league is an asylum ran by the inmates.

And just when you thought the league couldn't get any seedier. http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/92...cramento-kings

Nothing new here. Just Hansen and the Maloofs trying to Stern in the ass.

LOL, that's more Durant than anything. Still, Seattle .

My team leaves after we wouldn't build them an arena for a decade
To make up for this injustice we'll just steal a team from a city that actually likes their's and is willing to build them an arena

Does it not seem the least bit shady to hold the city of Sacramento hostage by hanging half a billion dollars over the Maloofs and bribing the other franchise owners with 4 million dollars each?

[baseline bum]

Seattle could have just built the damn arena years ago and had a le contender for the next 7-8 years
Now they can't even get the ty Kings

Dude, nevermind just trying to steal the Kings, they're trying highway robbery with the they're trying to get away with.

[HI-FI]

this whole situation is a massive cluster , but least it will give me some drama to follow.

they shouldn't have ever moved a team out of Seattle imo. You don't go from a dynamic market to a place known for a terrorist act and Flaming Lips. the fact they are even considering screwing over Sacramento shows that it wasn't the best decision.

Owners always do this , they ruin a franchise with ty management, and if a city doesn't want to tax its citizens for a new stadium, they just take their ball and go somewhere else. imo, the only way Sacramento holds onto its team is if public or media outcry is strong enough.
