New Arena Thread - Maloofs Strike Back

[ICMTM]

I had said it before in another thread. The Maloofs didn't file for relocation because they knew it wasn't going to happen. They created the atmosphere of playing a "we're leaving card." Kevin Johnson simply called their bluff.

David Stern, by stating there's no support for Kings relocating to Anahiem, basically confirms that.

The Maloofs are basically shooting themselves in the foot trying to get something for nothing.

Donald Sterling Clay Bennett and The Maloofs should be dropped on an island for an all out Battle Royale.

I can see it now.. Maloofs forced to sell. Hanson buys. Kings change name to Sonics.

I kept forgetting to post this, but I thought it would be worth knowing. My parents were in a season ticket holder meeting recently with Gavin where basically, he repeated that they want to stay and upgrade PBP, and that as proof of that, they're currently seeking out a long term cable deal.

Dude! Thanks for telling us.

That is (possibly) good news but I will assume that they are lying until they prove otherwise with signed contracts and some heavy construction equipment out in Natomas. They have burned us too many times.

Inigo_Montoya, so are you saying tears of joy in a television interview after "coming to an agreement" with NBA officials and the city of Sacramento was not enough for you?

[ICMTM]

You can't upgrade the PBP until the building moratorium is lifted in Natomas. That's half true, but if the construction is going to cost more than half the building's worth then the job legally cannot be permitted to happen. I read that I believe on Angelique Ashby's Facebook page.

The moratorium is expected to be lifted in 2017. Take this info with a grain of salt. It's stuff I've read being a North Natomas resident trying to figure out when I don't have to pay FEMA ins. any longer.

If only those tears meant something

Didn't the Maloofs OPPOSED remodeling Arco in the past?

Yup. I believe that they have been demanding a new arena for over a decade now. And until they bailed from the most recent plan they were 100% opposed to renovating Arco.

That's pretty much how I feel.
