The supremely distressing Sacramento Kings saga could end, or at least be sent careening toward resolution, on Wednesday. NBA owners are assembled in Dallas to hear from contingents representing Sacramento and Seattle and each other before voting on whether to allow the team to move to Washington state.
A smaller group of owners has already recommended against that request; if the broader Board of Governors agrees, what happens next is anyone's guess. It appears the owners will vote on an insane plan hatched by the Kings' owners, the Maloofs, and the prospective Seattle buyer
Chris Hansen, to transfer a MUT 18 Coins smaller portion of the franchise to the latter and all work together on a Sacramento arena.There is no way Sacramento officials are going back into business with the Maloofs, not after the disastrous end to 2012 negotiations on an arena deal.
One assumes league staff, led by David Stern, who has been closely involved at every stage for the last three years, would advise owners that asking Sacramento mayor Kevin Johnson to negotiate with the Maloofs and Hansen on an arena the Maloofs and Hansen surely don't want is foolish.
