As a long time Kings fan, this is a sad day for me. Sad but expected as the Maloof's have been trying to move the team for yrs now.

From what i have read, the Maloof's bankroll was nuked during the financial crisis (due primarily to their ill-timed expansion of the Palms).

Had they kept their powder dry, the story might be different.
There's a lot more to the story than that. The Maloof's have really fucked over the city on many levels. I will be happy to see them out of the NBA, even if it means losing my team to another city.

If only Chris Webber hadn't sprung his ankle
