Last ditch effort.

Lost out on the first pick... Looking to maximize profits for next year... MJ likely to sell next year... Team moves to Seattle.

MJ might sell it one day, but i think the NBA will buy it like New Orleans. I dnt think they're going to move it. If they were, they would've move the Hornets to Seattle. Also, we just had a new Arena.

Stern doesn't care.

That's why he let the Hornets leave and go to New Orleans in the first place because Stern thought he could make more money off of them there. In Stern's eyes, where would he rather have a franchise? New Orleans or Charlotte? See how many all-star games they're accumulating? It's a preferred market for him... That's why he bought it off of Shinn, kept it there, and then pulled some strings to get a deal for a new arena and got it sold to a beloved figure in New Orleans.

Look at what happened to us with the Hornets on the first go-round. New Orleans put word out they wanted a team. Stern didn't intervene and let them walk because it was more profitable potentially.

Now look at what is happening in Sacto. They have always had great attendance, outstanding fan base, etc. But what's going on? They have an arena deal that supposedly was in place, then wasn't in place... Owners and city council working together, now they hate each other, now the owners are making it obvious they want to move and aren't interested in keeping locked in on the deal they originally agreed upon with the city council for a new arena.

When asked what he would do about it, Stern brushed off any accountability and said he couldn't do anything, it was out of his hands.

Wanna know where the Kings are rumored to relocate to? Anaheim (LA Market), Las Vegas, possibly Seattle. All bigger and better money-making markets than Sacto.

He will do the same to us again if the opportunity presents itself, which it is getting ready to.

      Major Concerns with this team…with numbers

      By Stumpy · Posted

      The good news is that we are pretty uniquely well established to address all of our needs this season. We have $14m real cap space, and something like $40m in trade deadline cap space. Not sure exactly how that works out. But, we have the room to absorb any bad contracts. With recent rule changes regarding retention, that went into effect this season, we now have a huge advantage in the trade market.  On top of that, while we do have obvious needs, we also have a glut of talent in certain areas that we struggle to find ice time for. We are over-stocked on scrappy talented lil-guys, strong defensively sound 3rd liners and shutdown left shot dmen. Whether it's a package or separate deals, idk. But, one of each from Stank/Blake/Nads, Erob/Carrier/KK/Jank, and Walker/Nystrom; throw in some 1st round picks (and frankly any other prospects they want) and we should be able to come out with a 1b to pair with Bussi and either a 2c with size or a 2c and size.   TL/DR We got the money, you got the stuff?

      I don’t  think 6’4 was ever considered small or undersized. Baby hands tho, yes that was his thing That’s an interesting idea, like an optical illusion? Sounds like you have personal experience with this!

      in the 25' draft the Carolina Panthers had hired Brandt Tillis someone who actually understood how to build a successful team & build through the draft .  this team was yes mismanaged for years prior to Brandt Tillis joining the team in 25' & rarely done anything right in the draft outside occaionaly getting lucky on an UDFA such as Jalen Coker who's dad coincidentally happened to be a huge Carolina Panthers fan, hint hint  ...just saying
