Im kinda torn. On one hand, I wish Portland had a team nearby to battle. On the other, Kings fans are pretty cool overall.
He's protecting KJ and his bid for governor in a few years. If the Kinds leave Sacto, KJ is toast in that state politically considering who much effort he's put into keeping the Kings there. I happen to like what KJ did as mayor to keep his team; I doubt that Portland leadership would put together such a group should Paul Allen entertain offers from the Hansen group to move the team.
If it's the NBA's rule, I'd sue the hell out of them to get that money back. The NBA just spit in the Hansen group's collective face.
difference is, Sacramento wasn't on a long term contract which was costly to get out of, didn't have an arena that the owner had owned and could pay cash for if he so chose to, and pretty much would cost more to move the team than it would to keep the team in Portland. So therefore, the city leaders (as inept as they were, are and sadly, will be) knew they didn't have to bend over for Paul Allen.
Yeah, I agree with that, but I have to say I've been really impressed by Kevin Johnson and his ability to save the Kings for Sacto. Without the Kings, Sacto is Fresno in terms of a city, with the only benefit being that it's between the Bay Area and Tahoe.
When California has Gov. KJ, he'll put NBA teams into Stockton, Bakersfield, Palm Springs, Highway 101, the Motel 6 a hundred miles north of L.A. with some name I never remember, in a treehouse in the Redwoods... With that easy springboard to the Presidency, his VP should be Jesse Ventura.
Me too. Although I think it's foolhardy to keep them there, and sets Seattle getting a team back 3-5 years (if at all now), it was pretty ballsy of KJ to do what he did.
