When Reggie Theus played, was the team still in KC? I can't remember that far back - I'm getting old.

I've always been a Kings fan because of the team being in KC in the late 70's and early 80's. It has been hard to be a Kings fan most years including this last season. If they go to Seattle and remain the Kings I will probably stay a fan. If they are renamed the Sonics I will probably stop being a fan and focus on college basketball. I was a big fan of the NBA in the 70's, 80's and 90's, but I'm not so interested in the NBA anymore.

What else is new? **** this corrupt piece of shit league.

Voted down 22-8. And to everyone who said "I got mine but enough is enough" **** you. The Sonics weren't moved from somewhere else. They got moved. So that's pretty hypocritical to now say **** Seattle. Whatev. I don't miss the NBA.

NHL is way more exciting than the NBA.

The hypocrisy is actually coming from Seattle. People were outraged when Bennett's group lied their way out of town and took the Sonics with them. Yet they cheered Hansen on when he tried to follow the same playbook as Bennett: lie about "not wanting to steal a team" (Hansen said that last December) and then do it anyway.

Sacramento is a great basketball market that was beaten down by a decade of lies, obstruction, relocation threats, and horrible ownership courtesy of the Maloofs. The superhuman effort KJ and Ranadive put forth to keep the team demonstrates that the Kings belong in Sacramento.

I hope Seattle gets an expansion team, but thanks to how Hansen and Ballmer tried to strongarm the league by raising their bid at the last second, they might be waiting a good long while.

This is what is ****ing stupid about the NBA. Cities don't show up for their team, so they move. Then want one again? **** that. Like Charlotte. Didn't show up for the Hornets then got the bobcats. Stupid

Sacramento got ****ed in the 2002 playoffs, clearly a better team than the Lakers. Game 6 of the conference finals was one of the most obvious thrown games in sports history, right up there with Superbowl XL.

one has to wonder if the refs hadnt hosed them, if attendance wouldve been higher the last decade. first the NBA screwed them out of a championship appearance, now they're screwing them out of a team. no wonder the NBA sucks

my high school basketball coach played on the kings before they went to sacramento.

Frank Schade 72-73

Seems more like Charlotte was punished getting the Bobcats.

KeyArena held 17k.

Their last 3 years the Sonics were 11th, 14th, and 15th in the conference. They were dogshit and still pulling in just under maximum capacity average, save the final year. The Sonics moved because Washington wouldn't back them on stadium updates.

you live in south carolina, so im assuming you know why the hornets moved from charlotte.

For those that dont, they led the league in attendance for years, even though tey were average at best. then in bible christian country, George Shinn was caught in a sex scandal, which resulted in the city refusing to build him a new arena. Which is why they left. If they renamed the bobcats, the hornets, they will lead the league in attendance agan.

Now, on to if the kings are moving to seattle. I have no idea why they are doing that. Why not move he kings back to the midwest?

Ehh, I think that's a stretch. According to ESPN's data, Sacramento's arena was filled to capacity on average every year from 2003-2008, when it finally started falling off. It's only been awful the past few years due to constant relocation threats, cost-cutting, and open hostility to the fans and city from the Maloofs combined with a bad and unlikeable team on the court.

They aren't. The relocation was voted down by the league's board of governors today.

thanks. I hadnt seen that
