Just in case it does go down. It was a fun ride, we had/have some of the best fans and posters on realgm.

So, the VA Beach deal falls through, which NEVER would have passed the state budget anyway, and they decide to sell? I just don't see it. They couldn't have been hedging their bets on VA Beach, and if they were using it as leverage, well, that leverage didn't even begin to pass the sniff test.

****.

I'm still gonna be a fan of the team and follow it, as I'm not from Sacramento. But this is **** horrible and I really wish Burkle would come in to save the day and keep the team where it belongs.

My heart is with all of you guys living in Sac-town

Hope this is not true even though getting rid of the Maloofs would be good :-?

Well, it is being denied http://www.sacbee.com/2013/01/09/510268 ... mored.html
Problem is the Maloofs and Eric Rose are not trustworthy so the denial doesn't do much for me. We'll have to wait until the NBA makes a statement I think.

Yea, the Magoofs would pretty much deny that the Sun comes up if it fits their agenda.

Been denied a few times already by other sources, and she's since deleted her tweet. Guess we'll see.

Sounds like something is going on. The "nba representative" did not say this was false, but instead it is inaccurate, which is a bit different. And Eric Rose never denied it either, from what I read he just said "we do not comment about rumors..." hmmm, this sucks. FU Magoofs!!!!!!!!!!!

Which sources have denied it and what did they say exactly?

Yeah my bad. When I skimmed the article I thought that it was Rose doing the denial.

The unnamed source could be:
A. A low level MSE employee who doesn't know for sure
B. A high level MSE employee who knows that the team is sold but is maintaining the smokescreen for a bit longer
C. A high level who really knows that the team is not sold

No idea which is more plausible

James Ham ‏@James_Ham
My sources are confirming that the Sacramento Kings have not been sold to the Seattle group. Last night's rumor is false.

JakeWhittenberg
‏@jakewhittenberg
Sac Kings spokesman tells KCRA anchor that the team has not sold. Still working sources. @Sonicsgate @ArenaSeattle

But then again...

Regarding Kings rumors: Just got a text from Chris Hansen: "I can't comment on those things. Patience my friend."

Yea it could be that they're denying the official sale, but not the story itself that a deal is maybe close

Post #17 » by **pillwenney** » Wed Jan 9, 2013 6:34 pm

Yeah. Crap.

Post #18 » by **pillwenney** » Wed Jan 9, 2013 6:34 pm

I never thought I'd have to say this, but "Don't sell, Maloofs!"

A cook talks sports and sends the NBA world into a frenzy. Gotta love women.
