OT Rumor that Seattle will land Kings.

[Sedatedfork]

On my mobile so cant post link, but David Falks daughter tweeted that this was a done deal. She has since taken down the tweet. We could be playing against the Sonics next season.

Damn, you beat me to it son!

 

[NOVoodoo]

Good shit.

As badly as a feel for the Sactown fans, Seattle deserves this, way more than Sacramento ever did.

Now...

Can we rename them the SuperSonics?

My man who is the Kings TV Producer, just quit the first of the year and took a new job with the San Diego Padres. Said he wasn't going down with a sinking ship!

My friend posted this on facebook and I told her, "Seattle doesn't deserve an NBA team." I feel strongly about this.

I need to get rep points for calling this last week FAMS!

I predict the Kings will be playing in Seattle next fall. The Maloofs will sell the team to somebody up there....... they will play in Key Arena for 2 seasons while they build the new arena. Done deal!

Reported for begging. You are not the only person to have made this call.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Good call HCP! But did anyone really believe Virginia Beach? Virginia Beach? I think Eugene is bigger

Prove it sucka'!

People have been discussing this for months now and it seemed the only logical destination.

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA The Maloofs are finalizing an agreement to sell the Sacramento Kings to the Hansen-Ballmer led Seattle group, sources tell Yahoo! Sports.

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA
The deal will sell the Kings for approximately $500 million, with the Seattle group seeking relocation to Key Arena for the 2013-'14 season.

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA The Seattle group's plans, with support of the NBA, is to play two seasons in Key Arena before moving into a new Seattle arena, sources say.

This is moving faster than Raymond Felton at a Cupcake Tasting Convention!

Too bad. Sacramento has way more passionate fans

 

[magnifier661]

I'm actually really enjoying it! I loved the I-5 rivalry. Hopefully the new owner will actually bring in a competent GM and be relevant.

 

[magnifier661]

Wait so are they going to change their name back to the Seattle Supersonics? They have a lot of positive history.

From the stingiest owners to possibly the richest. This is huge.

Allen will still own that title.

I was thinking the same thing. This could really turn things around.

Um, no. As someone who's lived in both and married to an Arco Arena worker, no.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Great news for us. This adds back our natural rival AND puts another team within our region. Now kick OKC out of the NW division!

Yeah put them in the West with the Lakers. Basically trade Kings and OKC

 

[BrianFromWA]

I think it's just the opposite. Kick the Suns out and have POR, SEA, LAL, LAC and the GSW back in the "Pacific" division.

It is known Khaleesi.

This is a better option.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Exactly; we don't have any legit rivalries in the NW division. We'd have two in the Pacific.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

The Seattle Sea Kings!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA No agreement signed, but one source describes deal as "1st and goal at 1." Maloofs history of changing course late still makes many uneasy.

I really like that idea! Then Minny, Utah, OKC, and Memphis in the NW division. SAS, HOU, PHX, DALLAS, NOLA in Southwest.
