Around the League News and Rumors (Non-Hawks) Part 2

I no longer believe that Luka was traded for basketball reasons.

The conspiracy theory that ownership wants to lose fan support and then apply to move to Vegas is literally the only theory that makes any sense for such a really stupid decision.

New ownerhsip underestimated just how unpopular this move would be.

Here's the thing though.....the other owners get no money if a team relocates (and it requires a 2/3 majority vote). Getting a new expansion team in Vegas they get $300 million fee, each.

That is legitimately terrible news.
For the player.
For the fanbase.
For the franchise.

Domantas Sabonis expected to 'seek clarity' about Kings' offseason plan

League sources said Sabonis, who has three more seasons and a combined $140.3 million left on his current deal, is expected to seek clarity about the organization’s plan in the offseason. Just as Fox wanted to know whose voice mattered most on key decisions, and who the team’s owner might be trusting the most as counsel, Sabonis is known to have similar questions. Even with the recent success, league sources said several members of the team’s core are watching and wondering where this is all headed. “What is the vision here?” one league source close to a core Kings player said. “It feels like it could be headed toward chaos.”

I respect Fox for that.
Getting out of Sacramento is good for his career.
