A full-press court continues in the bid to keep the Kings in Sacramento.The Seattle group instrumental in moving the Kings has turned the heat up raising the bid to buy the Kings from $525 to $550 MILLION according to the Sacramento Bee.
The move was announced by Chris Hansen, the Seattle front man who wants to move the Kings from Sacramento to the Emerald City. Hansen says the extra $25 million was a show of ‘good faith’ and his Seattle group still has a binding agreement to buy the team.
Currently owned by the Maloof family, it was also reported Friday that former Facebook Executive Chris Kelly had joined the Sacramento ‘Dream Team’ investor group led by Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson to keep the team in the states capital.
Now known as the Oklahoma City Thunder, the City of Seattle, who once represented the team formerly known as the Seattle Supersonics, is thirsty for another NBA team. After all, where would they hang 2013 NBA Hall of Fame nominee Gary Payton’s jersey? That’s nothing in comparison to the Webber, Christie and Divac rivarly versus the Lakers or the dedicated fan base that has surpassed for decades, even in these lean years.
Although the Maloofs, are humming the baseline to the song 'Should I Stay or Should I Go?' Kings fans are screaming back: "You just got to let me know!' as we descend on the final days of the west coast version of ‘The Decision'.
Stay tuned next week for more info!
