Why? Because who would pass up a team just so a fan base in another city would be able to keep their team. People are greedy. TBH as long as Seattle gets a team back IDGAF about Sacramento fans, i know im a dick lol

I had the Grizzlies AND the Sonics ripped away from me making the closest drive to an NBA game over five hours away so im bitter.

It's hard to put yourself in someone elses shoes but I bet if the Kings move and then another team opts to move to Sacramento you wouldnt think twice about welcoming them back

Awesome, Virginia beach would've been a HORRIBLE choice.

Kings belong in Sactown

This is basically what it boils down to.

If the Kings move to Seattle... Sacramento can have my sympathy and pity, but in all honesty I'll cherish the move.

Exactly. Gotta take what you can!

#HereWEstay! Mutha ****a's Sactown we don't back down!
HASHTAG HASHTAG! WOOT WOOT!

There's a difference between taking the Kings out of Sacramento and taking a team like the Hornets or the Clippers out of there towns. Sure all those teams would be missed by there fans, but Sacramento was known as one of the best and most loyal fanbases in the league since there arrival. With the amount of crap and the god awful teams we've had to endure its absolutely amazing that ANYONE shows up to the games anymore. While our attendance has dwindled the fans still care enough to hold rallies and fundraisers, even make a documentary. Our city came up with a solution, the Maloofs agreed and then backed out. We did our part. Sacramento LOVES the Kings, even after its owners have been sleeping around with other cities, we still love the Kings. I feel bad for the Sonic fans for what happened to them, I honestly do. But anyone who would wish that another fanbase as loyal ours gets a team taken away to satisfy your own wants can screw off.

Seattle Suuupersonics. Bring them back. Gary Payton, Ray Allen, Shawn Kemp, Detlef Schriemph, Sam Perkins, Hershey Hawkins, Dale Ellis, Nate McMillan, Jack Sikma, Rookie KD, Downtown Freddy Brown, etc. Good times. 41 years of history gone in a move to OKC. I'm still pissed.

Come to Toronto.

I think almost every non kings fan wants the kings to move to Seattle, i know i do.

I don't per se... I want Seattle to have a team. I want Sacramento to have a team (especially as a Wolves fan and the rivalry we had for awhile there). I just don't know what other teams (if any) would be available and would rather Seattle get back a team than a state (even a large one) having 4 teams.

I think Las Vegas should get a crack at an NBA TEam. I mean, isn't that what the 2007 All-Star Game was about, kind of to do a test drive of what it would like to have the NBA in that city?

Plus, the Maloofs own the Palms Casino in Vegas. Seems like a logical move to me.
