Is There Any Non-Kings Fan That Feels Bad For the Move - Message Board Basketball Forum

I think its hilarious how no one is making a big deal about the move. When Seattle moved it was a big deal. With the Kings, you actually see other fanbases hoping they go back to Seattle

No one really cares about the kings tbh.

The kings have been at the bottom of league standings for so long (take away the cwebb and co era). I guess not as many fans care about the kings franchise staying in sac town cuz no one feels bad for a perrenial loser leaving.

Its just like the bucks or bobcats...

For real. I think more people will be p.issed if they end up staying in Sacramento

How many times does this need to be explained?

When Seattle was sold, the purchaser said he was going to keep them in Seattle, and that's the only reason the seller sold to him; guaranteed to be in Seattle. Right after the sale, he did everything in his power to move them to OKC.

When the Kings are sold, the Maloofs are not making any such demands, and the buyer is making it clear they want to move to Seattle.

Totally different situations.

i feel kinda bad for them. It certainly sucked when the browns got ripped away but at least we got a team back relatively quickly. I don't think Sac will ever get one again. And it's not like it's "shitty Sacremento's" fault, the kings had terrible ownership.

They haven't been relevant recently, and when they were they weren't really superstar driven.

The Sonics were not supposed to move. Had it been known a year before, during the purchase that they were moving it wouldn't have been a big outcry. The Kings are being sold with intent to move.

Real simple. I dislike them but Kings fans are quite loud and proud... or at least they were. Recently it's been quieter here. Except for bandwagon Warrior fans.

I would love to see the Kings stay. They have such a great fan base and should not have their team taken away from them.

I could only imagine how horrible I will feel if it happened to my Wolves!

Kobe 4 The Win · 01-23-2013, 04:18 PM

No I don't care about the Sacramento Queens.

Yeah man of course. A little over ten years ago the ARCO was the loudest arena in the league, I've always felt that fans are a big part of what makes any sport great, so yeah it sucks for them.

SilkkTheShocker · 01-23-2013, 04:41 PM

If it weren't for the 2002 season, the Kings would have literally nothing going for them.

FKAri · 01-23-2013, 04:56 PM

I'll miss Arco arena. I'll miss their history. I'll never forget those 02 and 03 Kings teams. They've got a ring as far as Im concerned.

Didn't the Maloofs say they'd keep the team in Sacramento if a certain thing happened (I can't remember exactly what it was but I'm pretty sure whatever it was the city did it). I thought they went back on their word, I can't remember exactly what though. Anyone know?
