    NBA returning to Seattle?

    Watch my city burn? This is why you have no credibility.

    NBA returning to Seattle?

    No article is near as dire as you Sonics fans would like to believe. At worst there are questions and risk, but NO ONE thinks the city is going to suffer as you suggest. And no one is getting a subsidy. Sacramento will own the arena. And by turning down revenue sharing they are showing...

    NBA returning to Seattle?

    This is the type of BS that I can't stand from Seattle fans. There is absolutely no evidence that this deal will harm the city in any way. You bring this up to justify your hatred at not getting the team. It's bogus. We have people in government fighting their ass off to keep the team in...

    NBA returning to Seattle?

    I was referring to the amount of effort/interest/fight Sacramento is putting in to keeping the team. It's my understanding that if the city of Seattle had done the same the NBA would not have allowed the Sonics to be moved.

    NBA returning to Seattle?

    Your perceptions about Sacramento are ridiculous. Sacramento is not Stockton, Sacramento is not in trouble. You are also completely ignoring the economic benefits of having a basketball team and an arena in downtown. The fact of the matter is the city of Seattle didn't do what Sacramento is...

    Can everyone please just boycott the mariners?

    First off, I come here because I'm a Seahawks fan. Second, I haven't been disrespectful to any of the Sonics or Mariner fans. In fact I'm doing Mariner fans a favor by warning them what can happen when you don't support a bad team. I'm not trolling. What's the point of a forum if you only...

    Can everyone please just boycott the mariners?

    If this is directed at me, my comment was relevant to the conversation, whereas yours was not. You're calling me out for 'whining' in a board about boycotting your home team. Sacramento was about to (and still might) lose their team because of bad management; if you want to ignore that example...

    NBA returning to Seattle?

    I don't think the situation in California is nearly as dire as you suggest. You make it sound like Detroit or something.

    NBA returning to Seattle?

    It really comes down to how much tax revenue the team generates for the city...which is hard to quantify. Does it draw additional businesses, residents to Sacramento? Does it draw people into the city to watch games/spend money? Does it support restaurants and other businesses in the area...

    NBA returning to Seattle?

    So if we had started as an expansion team it would be different? If Seattle was to get the Kings wouldn't you then be vagabonds, ripe for the picking by another "more deserving" city? Like I said before...this isn't about who is more deserving of a team; its about whether moving the team from...

    NBA returning to Seattle?

    I guess it depends on your perspective. The NBA apparently thinks they are better off keeping the team in Sacramento.

    Can everyone please just boycott the mariners?

    Please refer to Sacramento Kings situation before deciding to boycott a crap product put forth by management that doesn't care. Or you can keep paying for a shit product. You're in a no win situation.

    NBA returning to Seattle?

    In 2008 you were screwed...Screwing another city now may be the path forward for you, but I don't think anyone would call it absolutely the right thing to do. The Kings have been in Sacramento for 30 years and have a well established fan base in a market larger than 9 other teams in the league.

    NBA returning to Seattle?

    Like having your home burgled and then robbing someone else to replace what was taken.

    NBA returning to Seattle?

    Fair enough, I would be the first to agree that all things being equal Seattle should have a team over Sacramento. If neither city had a team it would be a no brainer to put a team in Seattle. However, the team is already in Sacramento and has been for 30 years. I don't think it's in the best...

    NBA returning to Seattle?

    Fair enough...I understand it's nothing personal...As a Sacramento fan I hope you fail with the Kings, but succeed with one of the 9 teams with a smaller market than Sacramento. If Seattle does end up with the Kings, Sacramento would take your place as the largest market in the country without...

    NBA returning to Seattle?

    I agree with you completely that you were screwed over big time. The Sonics should never have been allowed to leave Seattle. Where I disagree is using that as an excuse to screw over more people including myself who have invested so much money, emotion, passion in supporting the Sacramento Kings.

    NBA returning to Seattle?

    You were screwed big time and fan support should matter. It was BS how you were treated. But how does it benefit anyone if that precedence is used as excuse to screw over other fans moving forward? Its bad for fans and for the NBA if fans can't trust that their team will remain in their...
