Being from Los Angeles, and living in Seattle the past several years, let me please shed a little light on Seattle getting your Kings. Seattle is the most fickle group of sports fans in America. They are ignorant of sports in general, and DID NOT support the Sonics when they were in Seattle. Sacramento needs their kings. Don't be so foolish to believe Seattle's commitment to build a new arena is as sure a thing as Sacramento being below 50 degrees F in mid-August. I can think of four cities that deserve an NBA over Seattle. Anaheim, San Diego, Cincinnati, and Pittsburgh. The best thing to do is keep them in Sacramento.

Right idea, wrong city. in past 23 years of both Sonics and Kings franchises, the Kings earned more money 20 of those years. Two of the five longest sell-out streaks. Hansen is a bite player compared to Birkle and the other three whales. It looks pretty dim for Seattle,which is too bad, it's a city i like.

guys seattle needs a team since the old sonics moved to okc come on we have three other cali teams lets be less greedy

[The_Solution]

They didn't go to games when they had a team.

[shannon]

It's not about being greedy. It's about supporting our Kings that WE have supoorted for 28 years.
I think Seattle are the greedy folks. Seattle has multiple pro sports teams. WE have our Kings not your Sonics.
