1. If this happens, it'll be the Kings. All the pieces fit together just entirely too well (the failed election in November, zero new prospects in Sacramento, the Maloofs ties to Vegas being much stronger than they are to Sac, the Maloofs no longer attending many games in Sac, the expiration of all the out clauses in their 1997 loan with Sacramento, and so on).

I think this is what Joe and Gavin intended when they bought the team.

The entire thing looks like a setup to me. They knew the November election would fail. They now get their teary-eyed farewell with Sacramento, and get to blame the departure on someone else.

Looks like it's all dovetailing beautifully now.

Congratulations.

2. The Owners of the Kings also own the Palms Casino. They don't have betting on the NBA in the Palms. Plus UNLV is not on any of the books in Vegas... but all other NCAA games can be bet. An NBA team in Vegas would be just like that. No different, What is the problem?

4. So, NBA is ok with sports books? I think not. This will require books to stop taking NBA bets and they have not agreed.

5. You PEOPLE ARE IDIOTS is obviously the biggest miserable piece of garbage out there. Proven by his UNLV+3 over SD St. How'd that work out for you you? Who's the IDIOT? You sound like a GENIUS. Stupid Faggot! I hope you lost your life savings on that one. As for the crack about "out of towners"... Maybe you forget that it is the out of town money coming in, dumb or not, that keeps your sorry Meth induced pathetic loser ass paying no state taxes at work. So just say thanks next time or shut up. Its you whining ass locals that cause all the problems in that city anyway. Lowest HS graduation rate, growing gang and drug problems. Maybe you can just go back to selling crack and taking it up the poop shoot to cover your losses on your NCAA tournament bound UNLV. HAHA... CRY CRY

6. Wow, you guys are so nice! Vegas sounds like an awesome place to live. Anyway...

I'm from Memphis and hope that they don't move the team away. Our wise city leaders spent millions of dollars on a stadium that would just rot if they left. Bands and shows go to Mississippi to do concerts because of the stranglehold the Grizzlies have on said stadium. Taxes around the area have gone up in the area around the stadium. Hmmmmm...maybe Vegas can have the Grizzlies after all...

7. Grizzfan Vegas locals are not all idiots like you PEOPLE ARE IDIOTS seems to be, and Kings rule (by the way the Kings suck) you forgot about the 6000 people that move to Vegas every month and the fact that Las Vegas is projected to be the largest metropolis in the country as of 2015. Vegas is a wonderful city full of hard working people and we deserves an NBA team and i hope it is not the Kings!!! it sounds like it is going to be the Sonics.
