The Kings are a traveling whore show. Rochester, Cincinnati, Omaha, KC, Sacramento. They go to a city for around 10 to 15 years, then leave. So Seattle will probably get them for about 10 years, then they'll be on to wherever the next meal ticket is.
And they'll never win crap, either. |

They'll be the Sonics. Part of the deal was they got the name, history, etc back when they get a team. I'm glad because I don't like it when they say its the first time the Thunder have done blah blah since 1983. The seperation will be nice.

Either way they will play 3-4 times a year. Most people here get more fired up for Dallas, SA or LA even though they aren't in our division.

So Shultz says. Had that been a condition he should have written it in. He came out saying his intent was to stay in Seattle, but he wanted a state of the art facility.

Believe me. I know Clay Bennett wanted to go to OKC. However, Seattle had a chance to keep them. You don't know what you got til it's gone, and now they passed the same bill.
If Bennett doesn't buy the Sonics there is very little chance they hire Presti which is the key to the whole thing. He knew him because he was a minority owner in SA. I doubt any other organization has the balls to hire him for a few more years because he was so ****ing young at the time. I don't care if Bennett is portrayed as the devil. He is responsible for building a model franchise from top to bottom. Schultz wouldn't have surrounded Durant with the same talent, and he'd probably be playing for the Lakers by now. Revisionist history goes both ways. |

No surprise. Other than the initial years and the Webber years they haven't seemed to give a ****. Of course they've had some god awful teams there. Now their star player is a complete punk. Hopefully, he improves his attitude and he'll be a top player in the league.

I just read the history of the Kings on Wikipedia. That is one troubled franchise.

I thought Tyreke Evans would be a star as well. He shows flashes, but overall is just meh.

Who are you talking about as their star with a bad attitude? Aaron Brooks? I don't know. I'm so out of the loop.
