    Well if true, that can only be a good thing.
    The only true limits you experience in life are those you create or those you allow others to impose upon you.

    If you can dream it, you can do it!

    At @USATODAYsports: Ron Burkle goes to NYC to meet with David Stern. Seattle-Sacramento saga continues - http://t.co/OH9yrCeg -- Sam Amick (@sam_amick)
    "The current Sacramento Kings owners have proven time and time again that they do not care about the squad’s fans, the community that surrounds the team, and the product on the court. The Sacramento Kings owners are sniveling, conniving front-runners that do not understand the game of basketball, much less the ideals that help buttress attempts at tact, poise and reason." - Kelly Dwyer

    “Sacramento is where I want to be,’’ he said. “I want to bring the organization back, help the organization get started back winning. I love the city of Sacramento. That’s where I want to be. End of story. “We can dig a hole, throw that topic in there, cover it with dirt, pack it down. I want to be in Sacramento. End of story.’’ -DeMarcus Cousins

    Our franchise literally is about to rise from the ashes.

    Think about due diligence and at what point do you meet with Stern? I think this is the final steps before going all in.

    That sound you hear is thousands of Seattle-ites typing furiously and cursing David Stern.

    Isn't it time for a press conference? I was just getting into the new routine. Breaking news story followed by presser at 3.

    HAHA. Great stuff! Probably closer to the truth than anybody really knows

    BTW, the ultimate proof that the Maloof Bros. are terrible businessmen resides in the fact that they allow their emotions and personal feelings to govern their business decisions. No good businessman allows that to happen.

    Still need to see if he is all in and we get a KJ presser with Burkle-Mastrov presented as the equity investors. He could have had a bad meeting. Not leaping for joy just yet.

    Something tells me the story wouldn't have been leaked to the press if it was a bad meeting.

    Doubt the Maloofs would be given the opportunity again. Stern wants Burkle in the league and he wants him bad.

    Honestly if they basically say that to the BoG then its going to hurt their cause more than it will help. If the board has reason to believe that they are turning down a comparable or better offer out of spite, they would probably tell them to stop acting like children and take the deal better for them and the league

    Stern also hate the friggin Magoofs (but really now, who doesnt?).


    Man that would be a coup for us fans...Going from the worst owners ever to having an amazing owner.


    I'm trying not to get my hopes up here.
    Optimism FTW!!

    I'm not trying to be Debbie Downer, but have to be fair. Ron Burkle was NOT announced as a bidder today. He met with Stern. Cross fingers.

    It must ALSO be said, that if Burkle backs out or is not a part if the Sac bidding process, that may be a bad sign.


    Hopefully nothing more than don't jump the gun too quick, let it be confirmed that it went well.
