The hypocrisy is actually coming from Seattle. People were outraged when Bennett's group lied their way out of town and took the Sonics with them. Yet they cheered Hansen on when he tried to follow the same playbook as Bennett: lie about "not wanting to steal a team" (Hansen said that last December) and then do it anyway.
Sacramento is a great basketball market that was beaten down by a decade of lies, obstruction, relocation threats, and horrible ownership courtesy of the Maloofs. The superhuman effort KJ and Ranadive put forth to keep the team demonstrates that the Kings belong in Sacramento.
I hope Seattle gets an expansion team, but thanks to how Hansen and Ballmer tried to strongarm the league by raising their bid at the last second, they might be waiting a good long while.
