Sacramento Kings moving to LA

[kiefynugs]

they'll all become blazers fans

[Speedy88]

LA and Anaheim is not the same. i rarely go downtown LA

I agree, wouldn't that be like saying New Jersey and New York are the same thing?

[NBA_Brosuf]

In Anaheim, they will be called the Anaheim Vietnamese Kings.

True story.

I get your point, but isn't that more Garden Grove than Anacrime?

[crustyme]

clippers have played some home games in anaheim and attendance was always pretty strong. they were even planning to play there regularly if kobe had signed with them.

[Fasttrack]

I wonder what channels will pick up their home and away games.

Anaheim Disney Kings.

I think Disney is buying them kings.

LOL

[Killer_Demo]

deal isnt done yet...they could still stay in sac

[reppin_the_847]

I'd say the Bulls franchise is most likely permanently safe as well. Rock solid attendance even during their shittiest years, and 3rd largest market.

If you ever want to see how fu**ed up the NBA and David Stern is. Watch this: www.sonicsgate.org/movie

It's a 2 hour documentary that is very well made and very good production with a ton of interviews with people like George Karl, Aaron Brookes, Jamal Crawford, Gary Payton and many more. Shows how Stern literally screwed every fan in Seattle over, and he is doing the same to Sacramento.

No team in the NBA is safe, unless you are the Lakers, Knicks or Celtics.

I think the NBA should move them to Seattle.

[Speedy88]

I think the NBA should move them to Seattle.

I would love that. Although, until Seattle gets a new arena or renovates the Key Arena, the NBA won't come to Seattle.

i live in the philippines and there's a news article out in the local news about the sacramento team being offered to one of our prominent businessmen here. dunno if they're just trying to fill the news with interesting stuff though haha

they should stay in Sac town...man I remember when they were good...they had a great team...with the cow bells....it was great...they got robbed by the Lakers and the NBA

Living in sac-town during these times I cant put into words...these videos are the best ive seen on youtube IMO

More like the Anaheim Reyes and Tyreke Evan's XIII jersey will be the #1 selling jersey with every southsider buying one.


Billionaire can buy the team but will he build them a new arena for free too? Sac has already voted against building a new arena. No luxury boxes no Kings in Sac.

[Reno Paul]

The leadership in the city of Sacramento and the local paper trashing the team are the ones to blame for the Maloofs moving the team to Anaheim when it more than likely happens......Tried to get a new arena for years built to no avail. I hear Arco Arena is the worst arena in the NBA period.

The NBA team moving to Anaheim will be called the Anaheim Royals.

[WileOut]

Spoke to a friend in anaheim he is very excited about this. pretty much a done deal.

[marcoloco]

is it the confirmed that are moving?

[xpo276]

la has one team, the clippers don't count

Blake Griffin is bringing the Clippers to the Playoffs next year.

So-cal will have two teams. Kings/ Royals dont count. Each time I went to a Warrior vs Kings game this year in Sacramento, I heard the chant "Lets Go WARRIORS!" from the whole crowd. Kinda sucks to hear that on your home court.

[bonestock]

Maloofs have legally registered the name Anaheim Royals. Anaheim city council has approved a $75mil bond to pay for the move and the renovation of the Honda Center.

All the stuff I have been hearing on ESPN radio lately is leading me to believe that its bound to happen.

Its a good thing they moved then. OC has the market to support them. It is a mission for South County (large population of affluent folks) and even some Central County folks to go see a ball game in LA.

[Petenana15]

My vote would be to send them to Austin, Seattle

if its done why are the maloofs applying for an extension until may 2nd??? anaheim couldnt do anything with the ducks they wont be able to do anything with a basketball team... just a sh!tty city for pro sports teams

[QuantumLeap]

Agreed. Plus, OC has a population of 3 million people. That's as large as most metro areas with NBA teams. OC has supported the Ducks, they will support this new team.

It comes down to the luxury boxes. ARCO doesn't have them and Sac won't build a new arena with them. Anaheim will refurbish Honda to include them.

This is why the NFL won't move a team to LA. No one is willing to build a new stadium with luxury boxes.
