Well know KJ is saying that he knew this was gonna happen and now has 15 days to match the offer by Hansen and Co.? I don't get this at all.

Except he can't. The only people who can match, are the current minority owners.

"Not to change the subject, but did anyone hear the Sac reporter on 1090 a little bit ago? I only caught part of it, but he hinted that there are more than eight owners planning on voting against Hansen. He said he didn’t want to discuss it on the record, but has been told by some insiders from other teams in the league that they have the necessary votes to block a sale to Hansen/Balmer. Ugh."
Just found this on Sonics Rising........man this better not be true.

Well if it is true (which I don't believe for a second. No owner would be stupid enough to speak when a gag order is in place) then they are just opening themselves up for a lawsuit and future problems, like other owners turning down their sale and potential move. Good thing its not true.

Dude is a Sac local news reporter, I question his contacts deep throughout the NBA power structure just a bit.

Based on what? I'd love to see examples of this reporter breaking NBA stories that more distinguished national writers whiffed on. I find it peculiar that NBA owners under a gag order enforced by heavy fines are leaking their perspectives to some guy from the Sacto 11 o'clock news. The Sacramento media has puppeted the KJ and ownership talking points all along, including the "gateway to India" nonsense, which Monacelli referenced verbatim in the same interview. They're staying on message, that's all.

Listening to the Sandmeyer interview, it seems that no matter what the 7% stake will belong Sacramento as when they put in their matching bid that theirs would supersede Hansen and Ballmer's bid. And the reporter who stated that he had inside info on votes seemed very confident when he brought up that point. I no longer feel confident about this..............stupid NBA.

The fact that Hansen's group can stay so silent is music to my ears.
Let Sacramento keep up the good work. Its great to see them fight for their team. Every city should be so lucky to have a mayor that looks out for all of a city's interests.
Owners do not want to be told what they can do with their franchises... Even if that means moving to less desirable cities. They will not vote against each so they can continue to leverage the best possible deals. If the NBA only did what was right for the cities no team would ever move.
Many of us thought the league would never turn its back on 41 years of history and a large market like Seattle for another city. The BOG proved that they care about their fellow owners.

Only standing minority owners can submit a bid to match. The only one who is saying he's going to do that is Bob Cook, the bankrupt guy whose share was just sold. Where is this money coming from? Why isn't it being used to pay the massive debt to his creditors? Why are so many broke entities finding magical amounts of mystery money to try to throw off Chris Hanen's business dealings? :lol:Blitzer88":hpm5d1mm said:

You can't make me! On a more srious note, I mean I feel the way I do because of the gag order on the Hansen/Ballmer group so everyday I keep hearing about how quickly things are coming together for sac-Town in a short period of time. If there was some Seattle news every now and then on this subject maybe my hopes would be a little higher than they are right now.
