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.

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
