Arena Alert: Just heard that negotiations are ongoing between Chris Hansen and Seattle Council. And - while slow - progress being made.
mitch levy ‏@kjrmitch

Consensus is that we are getting close to an agreement on adjustments to the MOU.
mitch levy ‏@kjrmitch

If a deal is struck shortly, a Seattle Council vote would happen when they reconvene in September and then go back to County for vote.
mitch levy ‏@kjrmitch

Almost zero RT @Dawgfan1974 what are the chances they "strike a deal" and the city then votes it down?
mitch levy ‏@kjrmitch

Before return RT @Reignman206 If not today, do you think a deal is announced over two week break or silent until they return in Sept?
mitch levy ‏@kjrmitch

Yes RT @Reignman206: @kjrmitch one last one. Should I assume that if deal okay with city that county vote would be formality?

Wow. I've been so focused on the Sonics arena this year that I haven't paid nearly as much attention to the Hawks as I normally do. Didn't even know this thread existed.

I can't wait to just be a fan again.

Yep, especially important to turn the heat up to an inferno during the recess, where it's likely we'll have an agreement in principle that'll cause the Portly Bunch to throw every last smear they can in what will likely be a last ditch effort to derail this thing.

Haha. Same here. I too have been a bit less keyed in on the Hawks due to the arena fight. Getting back more into it now with actual games. But I totally get you.

And yes, Pinksheets is dead on. The closer this thing gets, the more desperate and ridiculous the Port and it's cronies will get. We have to stay diligent. Key calling and emailing the Seattle City Council, and keep fighting the good fight on Twitter. Can't get complacent or let up now.

Reports are coming out that the Maloofs would like to move the Kings to Virginia, which makes no sense to me because hasn't there been a belief that if they move, they want to move where they still have quick access to Las Vegas?

-shrug- I wasn't worried about the Kings anyway, it seems to me with the way Hansen talks and looking at the Bucks situation that they are the team in the crosshairs of Hansen if this happens.

Maloofs still have to get back in the good graces of the NBA for them to approve the move anyway.

Vote will happen on the 17th at the latest, and things sound very very very very very positive, i'm sure someone will link the podcast later on today when I'm sleeping for work.

Harrell ALMOST guaranteed it passing.

When it passes can we all dance in the street while the "Space Jam" theme blasts out of some giant speakers?
