Kings to relocate to Anaheim?

http://www.49erswebzone.com/forum/thread.php?num=146633&page=36

Maybe it does need it's own thread.

move them to Seattle

The Clippers should move to San Diego, then I could see the Kings in Anaheim.

How the f**k is the Mayor going to be KJ, and he lets an NBA team walk away? If he wants to stick it to them for some old hatred (a la Harbaugh -- Sing already got his -- you'll see!) then that's one thing. Otherwise this makes no sense to me.

Can LA really support 3 basketball teams?

Please follow @DontGoKings and @HereWeStay on twitter. Please everyone, even if it's not your team it is VERY important to quite a few people in NorCal and to be honest if they leave I, as well as many other people, will be heart broken. PLEASE. If you can do anything to support them staying and a new arena in Sac, just do it. I dont care if you in Sac or LA or SF or Oakland or SJ or Oregon or Washington or Nevada or Mars. Just please, try to help us out here.

The Kings need to stay In Sacramento. How am I supposed to hate them if they're only some freeway exits away? But really, we don't need 3 teams in the same area.

Also, Sacramento fans have proven that if you put a half-decent product on the court, they will support their with as much passion as any team in the league. Just get them a new damn stadium.

The hockey team in LA is also named the Kings and have the same colors as the Sacramento Kings. The move shouldn't happen.

My points exactly bro. It doesn't make sense to have 3 teams in the same market. But Sac needs to get a new stadium and they have drug their feet forever. A lot of people who live in Sac are stupid penny pinchers who are convinced any money available should be spent on teachers and police and firemen and things don't even really work that way. Sac needs to attract more business and more tourists and a new arena would do that, plus it would add construction jobs. Kings employ around 1000 people right now and I have heard that plenty of people who own restaurants get a lot more business on nights the Kings are playing, with most of those people struggling to stay afloat at the moment. So if you take away those 41 nights where they get extra revenue, those people will have their businesses most likely fold. So that is 2000 jobs potentially lost, plus many people from Chico/Redding/Tahoe who won't come to Sac anymore(like me for example).

Now that they have a mayor that doesn't have his head up his ass and a halfway decent city council they are working on it, but they need more time. Hopefully they get it. I really want this team to stay in Norcal, I have been a fan since I was like 9 years old so for the last 10 years and I will be absolutely crushed if they leave.

The Maloofs main objective is they want a new arena, so why are they moving the team to an arena that was built in 1993? Do they think it'll be easier to build a new arena in Anahiem?

Yeah I think this is a horrible idea. If you have a team in what's considered a small market by NBA standards, yet is able to get a strong fan base to support them, I'd think it's by far in the league's best interest to keep them there. The league should continue doing everything they can to keep the team there and try to do whatever they can to get a stadium built.

It makes absolutely no sense to move a team with a large fan base in a "small market" while place such as New Orleans have a superstar leading their team to the playoffs every year yet their team is playing in front of high school size crowds and not making any money for anyone. I'm not saying the Hornets or anyone else should be moved, I'm just saying if you're going to move a team, it shouldn't be from a place with a proven ability to generate revenue.

Unless he has $400 million in his bank account to build a new arena, there aint' s**t Kevin Johnson can do
