    Welcome Mr Vivek Ranadive & company

    An emphatic thank you to the new owner and face of our franchise, Mr. Vivek Ranadive.

    An extended thank you to the rest of the ownership group: The Jacobs Family, Mark Mastrov, Chris Kelly, Mark Friedman, Raj Bhathal, Katrina Garnett, Andy Miller and Arjun Gupta (I'm sorry if I missed anybody) who formed our Killer Whale Pod and the roughly 20 local Sacramento business owners who each chipped in a million dollars to save our Kings.

    A special thanks goes out to Mr. Ron Burkle and by extension his associate Darius Anderson, who despite not being part of our final ownership group were instrumental in fending off the Anaheim threat and will continue to be vital in the redevelopment of downtown and the building of the new arena.

    Thanks to the work of Senator Darrell Steinberg whose contribution cannot be over emphasized.

    Of course a heartfelt thank you to our leaders in this process, Mayor Johnson, his staff, the Sacramento City Council and Commissioner Stern and the Board of Governors.

    Thanks to Carmichael Dave and Mike Tavares - you represent the best of all of us.

    And thank you Sacramento.

    More than just the memories remain the property of the Sacramento Kings

    The Nightmare is Over

    The announcement came after a lot of us had thought it wouldn't happen until tomorrow at the earliest. But the official word is in. Vivek Ranadive and his group have finalized a deal with the Maloof family to purchase the Sacramento Kings.

    It's been a long and arduous journey, Kings fans. But it's a new day and the best is in front of us.

    We owe a debt of gratitude to a lot of people, but we owe the most to Mayor Kevin Johnson. If it were not for his dedication and devotion to keeping the Kings AND finding a way to revitalize downtown at the same time, we'd merely be sitting here watching our TVs with memories of the days when Sacramento had an NBA team.

    We have a team. And we'll have it for a long time.

    WE ARE SACRAMENTO!!

    WE ARE THE KINGS!!

    Kings fate is decided

    With a vote of 22-8, the NBA Board of Governors today rejected the request of the Maloofs to relocate the Sacramento Kings to Seattle. With that vote, the sale to Seattle's Hansen/Ballmer group was also negated.

    David Stern, speaking after the vote, said it was always about Sacramento. He said when the pending sale to Seattle was announced, Mayor Kevin Johnson came to the NBA and asked them what Sacramento needed to do. Stern said they laid out all of the huddles a potential Sacramento ownership group would need to jump and that Johnson was able to get it done.

    At this point, the Maloofs are still the owners of the Sacramento Kings. George Maloof has denied rumors that his family would not deal with Ranadive. Stern indicated that he believes an agreement between the Maloofs and Ranadive could come as soon as within the next 24 hours.

    Word from Kevin Johnson is that the Ranadive group will be working with the Maloofs around the clock to get the sale completed.

    At last, Kings fans can exhale.

    Eye Candy at summer league

    Don't get too excited just yet. Summer League in Las Vegas os the biggest sports melting pot in the world. There are 23 NBA teams represented from every corner of the country and every one of them has their cadre of fans. *Las Vegas is a Lakers town but the Sacramento Kings are well represented due to the Maloofs and their (sic!) Palms Casino.

    Fans from Boston are different from Chicago fans who are very separate from Spurs, Kings and Clipper fans. *Clipper fans are a bit like us Kings fans were in 1998 when the team took a major upturn. Every fan group seems to prefer different drinks and snaks too. *At any moment in the food court area between Cox Pavilion and Thomas & Mack one can see T-shirts from 10-12 different NBA teams and frequently see several Euro team shirts.

    Tue, 7/17 NBA Summer League in Las Vegas v1.0

    There are a lot of reasons to come to the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas in July. In v1.0 here we look at the basketball reason. In v2.0 we'll talk with a number of Kings and potential Kings as well as getting a fresh perspective from Coach Jax on both he and his squad. In v3.0 we'll look at the Eye Candy reason from four perspectives.

    Speed of summer league games is faster then NBA games as everyone is showcasing their skills, trying too hard much of the times and trying to outdo each other on every play. Way too much one-on-one ball. But in this, the biggest Fishbowl of a tryout arena in the world, players know the multitude of eyes of GM's, Player Personnel Managers, agents, scouts and front office folks from virtually every team in the NBA are on them. And they only have 5 games to show themselves.

    You mean the roster that he constructed full of undersized scoring guards and no wing shooting? That team? Yes, he knows it well.

    So if a good move happened we put that in Petrie's report card,...
