From what I understand, that means the chances of Seattle getting the team just dropped to less than 25%. Since it passed with more than 2/3 vote, Sacramento is legally bound to submit an area and team ownership deal within the next two weeks.

Only if the owners vote not to approve the sale to Hansen.

Wait......so we have less than a 25% chance on getting the Kings now whereas before this we had a very good chance to get them? Dangit..........

Where are you getting this 25% number? Everybody I've read that's been covering this whole saga has said that vote means next to nothing in the big picture.

Sacramento just traded the 5th overall pick, Thomas Robinson to Houston. Makes no sense.

Gotta agree with you there. Don't think there's another job that pays grade school level goons 6 figures salaries for sitting on their asses and clocking out 5 hours early. Family wage jobs, my ass.

Where can I apply?
I'm pretty sure your IQ is too high for that job.
Your welcome.
Just want the move to happen if its going to happen. Sick of this "not quite news" news.
I would say that I bet there are some Longshoreman members here that would consider that a personal attack. Elitist mentality strikes again from people that evidently don't know the history of longshoreman. It's mechanized now a lot more but at one time nothing moved in this country without them and it was one of the most dangerous jobs you could have.
I suppose Loggers and Miners, Fisherman, also fall into your imbecile category also.

Curtis Crabtree @Curtis_Crabtree RT @FOX40: Source: Minority owner John Kehriotis wants to buy the #Kings without any city money invovled.
Curtis Crabtree @Curtis_Crabtree RT @FOX40: Source tells @JimCrandell that Kehriotis has $350 million, with a verbal commitment of $400 million. #Kings
Curtis Crabtree @Curtis_Crabtree And I want an Aston Martin Vanquish, doesn't mean I can afford one. We'll see how realistic this minority owner's backing is. I'm skeptical.
FOX40 News was told Monday night by a source, wishing to remain anonymous, about a new group led by current Kings minority owner John Kehriotis. Kehriotis currently holds 12.2% of the Kings franchise.
According to the source, the group thinks it needs $750 million to buy the team and build the arena. The source, who is involved in the purchase effort, says the investment group currently has $350 million and a verbal commitment for $400. That would meet the goal.
This plan, the source says, is not site specific. The group could consider the railyards, Downtown Plaza and the current arena site in Natomas.

I still think this will come down to there being a deal in place and some money put down before all these new groups came into the mix or any arena deal in Sacramento.

Seems like pretty bad news but I guess we'll wait and see if this deal is legit. Hard to imagine the team moving if they have that kind of offer on the table.

I dont think it means anything, dudes only worth $360 million? compared to the money the Seattle group brings to the table? The NBA is going to look at that and think the best long term viability of the franchise is to go with the money team in Seattle, Sacramento's best shot is Burkle, not this guy.

It's all about the money. The NBA needs a team in Seattle. After they lost the Grizzlies they now have one area without teams that in the past had teams and supported them ( Sonics and Grizzlies) The Seahawks and Mariners also draws fans from the East states such as Idaho and Montana. A good Seattle team may well do so also.
Sacramento is a smaller media market by quite a bit. It is served by teams already. The nearest is the Warriors. I see the NBA doing what is best for the league and Media deals, and its not staying in Sacramento.

Too little too late. Sacramento may not want to admit it, but they are playing for 2nd place (ie an expansion team or another cities team)

Every team in the NBA will be worth %30 more with the Sonics instead of the Kings. You think these guys (owners committee) ain't motivated to grease some skids?

Well according to reports Mayor Johnson is set to reveal his entire plan tomorrow at some point and time giving names of his whales, an arena plan and financing.
The plot thickens, I personally see it as if Sacramento can get a deal that is close or equal too the Hansen/Ballmer groups deal then they are probably staying Sacramento.
