Worth noting: The Kings had one of the better fan bases in the NBA when the team was decent.

indeed they did. Those early 00′s play-off battles against the lakers was the shiznit.

From what Simmons has said recently it seems that the Maloofs are hurting for cash right now. They overleveraged themselves right before ’08 expanding the Palms and the value of the Palms has gone way down as Vegas has suffered the last few years.

If Anaheim is offering them cash they are going to take it.

People spend money on sports teams they would have spent elsewhere.

I think the problem, from Anaheim’s perspective, is Orange County residents are going to LA to spend it on the Lakers/Clippers when that money could stay in OC.

If I agree to move to Anaheim, then how much would the city give me to renovate a house and cover my moving costs Bevo

The smartass answer is how much taxes will you provide. However, I agree with you. KC hoodwinked its voters to refurbish Camarohead and Kauffman stadium. I moved out of town shortly after that. I was so amazed how stupid voters are when it comes to piss poor run sports teams.

Also, it costs $50 million to move a team?

I’m not sure about the bankruptcy, but the housing crisis hit them hard with all the McMansions they have in Newport Beach and Laguna Beach

If I agree to move to Anaheim, then how much would the city give me to renovate a house and cover my moving costs? The morons known as Anaheim elected officials should be recalled now.

Didn’t Orange County declare bankruptcy a few years ago?

Adds a couple more “home” games for the Lakers. I’m ok with it.

Anaheim has an indoor arena that they need to fill dates for when the Ducks aren’t playing. Smart move by the city.

Phil Jackson thinks the idea is “ridiculous.”

Coach Forrest Gump should stick to what he knows best: Winning championships with ready made, HOF talent and banging the owner’s daughter.
