It's Official: Sac-Town Makes Local Bid

((HT: News10.net))

So, it is the Mastrov-Burkle angle...

Mayor KJ has brought out some 24-Hour Fitness and the Pittsburgh Penguins owners to try and make the bid of keeping the Sacramento Kings in town as serious as possible.

While it is regarded widely that Mark Mastrov doesn't have the financing to do the team and the arena by himself, Ron Burkle has been tapped to be the guy in charge of the arena in its new incarnation when it's built.

Mastrov and the other 19 individuals who are part of the "Play To Win" campaign sent their counter-offer to the NBA's relocation committee and the Maloof brothers.

"My understanding is it will be a full and competitive bid," Johnson said.

April 18 and 19 are the dates that the NBA owners will vote on Sacramento's and Seattle's offers.

Here's the local angle on the group trying to keep the team in town...
