Deal with it
Does anyone outside of Seattle and Sac really care about this? I don't think anyone would be too sore over the outcome of this, whatever it may be.

They will eventually get a team. In the meantime they have the Mariners and the Seahawks to keep them happy. Sac has the rivercats and sac state. Must really suck to be a Seattle sports fan...BigLurch92 wrote:I would feel soo bad for people from Seattle if somehow the Kings did end up staying in Sacramento. Probably worse then i would for Kings fans if they moved.
Would you supply a quote from Stern on that? So far Stern only official quote is that the deal is not done and KJ will present his counter-offer to BOG.PRESTIGE wrote:Has a franchise on the verge of moving in recent history ever, I mean ever, ended up staying? The Grizzlies, Hornets, Sonics, and Nets made some noise but all ended up eventually leaving. Plus Stern is not impartial in this, he actually wants the Kings to move to Seattle. I think they're gone.

he will be looking at TV $$ not arena attendance
Seattle is a bigger TV market (12th), also has regional clout
whereas Sacto, while the 20th market, lacks regional clout due to relative proximity to bay area
TV is where the $$$ is, i would guess merchandising would also tilt in seatle's favor as well
sadly NBA is a corporate league, not a fan base league
how does that explain OKC? I dunno, perhaps due to regional presence (OK, No Tx, Ks)?
Memphis, NO, Cha??? all i can think is that these are regions where NBA sees future econ/pop growth, and already existing college bball fan base.
perhaps someone on this board may have some more insight, this is the best I can figure off the top of my head
