I feel terrible for the Sacramento fans.

Looks less likely that Cousins will be traded now. New ownership is going to want to build around him hoping the change will improve his disposition.

Not surprised at all. I am excited that Seattle will have a basketball team again. I think this will officially end any possible trade involving Cousins. I think all major personnel moves will be put on hold as far as the Kings are concerned.

I just hope to god this never happens to us again.

Totally f'ed up. All of us should be able to commiserate with those SAC fans but at least we had a good product. They've had a multitude of high picks and they still couldn't get a credible team on the floor.

Sucks. I hate this.

Truly sucks for the Sacramento fans, now they have no sports team.

Reading on the other forums it sounds like it's not a done deal yet. There would be a relocation fee (approx. 150 million) plus there's a 70 million loan that would have to be paid back to Sacramento. Some are saying there's a possibility owners from Sac. could step up with a smaller offer (but a net gain for the Maloofs) and keep the team there.

Pulling hard for Kevin Johnson to keep the team.

well this could put a wrench in my prediction.

new prediction:

kings/sonics win the lotto this year

we win next year and draft wiggins

magic get #2 pick 2 years in a row

I'm pulling for KJ too. (And he could do it...the Maloofs have been acting nuts, pulled out of the deal w/Sacramento and may have done the same w/the Seattle group. So I think Sacramento has hope) I sincerely hope they can make it happen and get the Maloofs out of Sacramento. They're far and away the problem. I have far too many un-fond memories of the time around when the Hornets left and I wish the good people of Sacramento will be spared that experience.
