((HT: News10.net Sacramento))
It's time for the square off in New York City to determine the future of the Sacramento Kings...
Both city groups, the Sacramento Kings led by Mayor KJ, along with the Seattle group of Hansen-Ballmer are getting their time in front of the Commissioner and the Relocation Committee...
Johnson outlined the city's plan to build the new arena complex...
Seattle's group included the mayor and the ownership group...
The Board of Governors meet in two weeks and can block the Maloof's from selling to Hansen-Ballmer. They cannot, however, force them to sell to the Sacramento group. If the NBA blocks the sale to Hansen-Ballmer, the Maloofs can hold onto the Kings, look for another ownership as a buyer, or sell the team to the Sacramento ownership group.
Here's the Sacramento version...
Commissioner David Stern said the stereotypic things he would say:
"Both sides made -- in my view -- very, very strong presentations."
Stern also intimated that the final decision might not happen at the Board of Governors meeting. However, he did say that expansion is not an option for Seattle. Which means that the number of franchises is solid now and won't change- only locations...
And here's Chris Hansen with his optimism...
