Where will the Kings play next season?

[Remedy360]

Recommendation to accept or reject the sale to Hansen coming later this week which should indicate what will happen when the vote takes place in the first week of May.

I'm torn here.  I'd prefer that sacramento & seattle are both in the nba.  It should be either these irrelevant franchise most of america don't give 2 shits about & that's the bucks, wizards & suxers.  They aren't cared about that much in their own cities.  Out of those 3 i'd prefer to be the next sonics are the bucks.  Mainly so I wouldn't have 2 see those hideous scarlet alternate jersey no more

Yeah, considering all teams I don't think the Kings should leave either, the question was just "what do you think will happen". Don't see how you could include Sixers or Wizards in your list though. I'd say Hornets, Grizzlies, Bobcats, Bucks, or Pacers. If you're going off recent attendance numbers obviously the Kings belong there, but their fans have been great in the past. Move a team like the Hornets, Grizzlies, or Bobcats that are always losing money playing in shit-markets. Anyways, by the NBA's own precedent the Kings are fucked because they have an old arena and an owners that have a deal with out of town guys.

phili, dc, and indiana all need basketball...the thing about sacramento is that it's their only sports team. i think theyll stay the year in sac, but i can see it goin either way.

Yeah, Phili, DC and Indy are all huge basketball cities. I wonder if the NBA would ever go to Louisville one day. I think there are some cities that don't need an NBA team and there are some places that could be really good for the NBA. (Kansas City or St. Louis is another cities that could house an NBA team)

With that said, I say it's time for the Kings to move to Seattle. I am for the move. I miss the rivalry with the Kings and Lakers, but it's time to move on. The Kings have been in the bottom 5 in attendance every year since 2008. And Sac-Town has proven it can fill it's arena, so I am not sure what to make of this. Their arena in Sacramento does not hold as much as many other arenas now, as it holds just over 17,000 and in the early 2000's it was filled. Just like Seattle, their arena holds less than Sacramento, so the Supersonics were ranked in the 20's in attendance (though not as bad as Sacramento despite having a smaller arena) though they usually filled their arena 90%. With that, I think Seattle is a better market and I would hope the NBA would move there.

I'm hoping they to go Seattle because it would mean the Lakers would have to travel further for the road games

Yeah, it's strange thinking they'll be playing in the Pacific if it goes through, they'd find a way to get them back in the NW eventually though.

You'd have to move Sac to the NW, and then Oklahoma to the SW but who would move to the Pacific? Might just need to restructure the League.

So you'd have the...

Pacific:
LA Clippers
LA Lakers
Golden State
Portland
Seattle

Southwest:
Phoenix
Dallas
Houston
Oklahoma City
San Antonio

Mid-West:
Utah
Denver
Minnesota
Memphis
Milwaukee

meaning you'd have some restructure in the east:

The South (or south-east)
New Orleans
Atlanta
Miami
Orlando
Charlotte

Central:
Chicago
Detroit
Indiana
Cleveland
Toronto
 
Atlantic:
New York
Washington
Philadelphia
Boston
Brooklyn


This makes sense, and it might be something the NBA should look into. Best part, you can replace Seattle with Sacramento and it still works.

I'm ok with louisville.  It would be cool if missouri would have another team, unsure what city would be better.  My brother read that somebody on the internet who's from missouri said that they got enough teams.  I know states/cities who got enough teams also    Cards & Blues rule St. Louis, Rams got stadium issues even though its barely legal.  Chiefs & Royals don't draw well when they suck, they both suck now.

Bullets/Wizardsl hasn't been worth a darn since 79.  They got Georgetown & Maryland.  Suxers are the least popular team in philly.  Once the phillies got a new ballpark, they even gotten more popular in philly.  The college hoops teams matter more than them[Temple, V.Nova, La Salle, St. Josephs,] might be more in the philly area.  I remember a teen boy years ago who rather have a WNBA team than the suxers    And its practically the rule nowadays that all males must hate all womens sports.  I'd prefer that the N.O. team moved & stayed in OKC but Shinn got a conscience alluva sudden.  Name change so they can give it back to charlotte.  All charlotte needs is a new owner but Stern is incapable of running the nba without Jordan in it & without the Lakers.  The nfl still goes on without Joe Montana & the cowboys.

Well that makes no sense. Oh well, they still need to find a way to get more teams west, and Oklahoma City out of the NW division.

poor Seattle

Not over yet. http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/9228818/seattle-based-group-wants-purchase-sacramento-kings

Bad news, but it's going to take more than this to get rid of Hansen/Balmer.
