Kings should go to Vegas or Seattle.

I'm sure you're aware, but it would be increibly difficult to bring a major league sports team to Las Vegas with the gambling policies and all of that. A team in Vegas would get so much love though. Probably sell outs every night.

Seattle needs a team again. They've been hurting, and I don't think the Storm is enough for them to be happy. I saw a Kings game in Sacramento a couple years back and it was pretty pitiful.

seattle wouldnt pay for a new arena either though

vegas would mean that the kings games would be taken off the books. dont know if thats really feasible. i want to say i read something a long time ago about all nba games being off the books for all casinos but i dont think thats right since Caesars just has to take celtics games off due to partial ownership by the CEO.

i dont know if an nba franchise would sell out in vegas every night. most people that go to vegas arent there to see nba games and the locals work strange hours to really sustain a consistent fan base.

sacramento just needs to pony up and get the new arena. if the kings leave it will set sacramento back more than most people realize. a new arena downtown will revitalize downtown promote new jobs and just let the city grow (even though the freeways arent built for much more growth, but thats another topic)

thats what i been saying for a long time. I choose downtown over arden tho.

[i wear shooes]

Merge the Kings with the Warriors and move the team to San Francisco.

SUCCESS.

both will make traffic hell.

arden only has one way in and out so thats the worst idea of the 2.

i have a bad feeling that the maloofs are leaving have had this all set up for the past year. power balance is located in the OC and with the new agreement with them that is just another reason to move down south. free agents are prob more likely to play and live in the OC than in Sac. it just seems to be part of a greater plan to leave sac regardless of what they say publicly.

edit: sorry that was in response to the arden post not the warrior kings merger

We have Bart (subway for you east coasters).

Bart has expanded to almost every where in the Bay.

Sac to SF could happen. Oakland to SF is already there.

[gearhead]

im wishing one of those teams go back to vancouver, 2nd canadian would be nice, plus vancouver gave up to soon the first time

or move one of the teams to the D league ?

melo and many others are now knickerbockers

thoughts?

[i wear shooes]

Knicks gave up TOOO much.

AND HOW THE FUCK DID THE KNICKS GET THE WARRIORS SECOND ROUND PICKS FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS?

Melo and Amare is nice.

No D what so ever though.

[Aeroplane]

I don't get this deal. Why gut the team when Melo can just sign over the summer?

The Association is about stars, but the game is still won with team work. Small markets will just have to work harder.

[ImRatherUnique]

yeah nuggets got alot out of this

who starts at the 2 for the knicks? landry?

something tells me it has to do with the CBA. ill read more about it since im confused as well.

[abrupt stop]

I would have never given up felton or gallo. they will end up overpaying for a PG in the future instead of having money left to go after dwight howard

[i wear shooes]

disgusting

ownership can suck a dick

done with the knicks

sup clippers/warriors/nugs fans

whaaaat up

Billups/Fields/Melo/Amare/Turiaf?

They have to let go of Billups and then go after CP3 or Deron.

i dont think the knicks have the cap space in the summer to get him. knicks gave up a lot. wonder if the nets getting gallo/felton and mozgov for 2 firsts is still a legit rumor?

the nuggets just rebuilt their team real fast and got a lot of young assets/picks.

I doubt it, there just barely breaking ground for San Jose which will be ready around 2015. Just stick with AmTrak. But awesome idea with merging the Warriors & Kings, but will never happen.

[Christmas In A Submarine.]

I've never been hugely impressed with Melo's game... but even so: knicks overpaid.

[i wear shooes]

3rd best pure scorer in the game.

but no D and only rebounds if he feels like it.

for the east.. amare and melo combo will work fine.

[youonlyliveonce]

from the isaiah thomas era to now, the new york knicks has gotten their act together, so props to patience and donnie walsh.

i thought the knicks were playing slightly above 500 basketball, but i think theyll be a bit above that with the new addition. not sure what else is going to happen, though.

[chantheman]

melo and amare both need the ball. well see how that works out. at least the melo-drama is finally over

[M4TM]

feel bad for the nets! lost out again... hope they can swing Timo... haha.

[i wear shooes]

New York at Miami this Sunday on ESPN.

Nice.

[lintmunro]

knicks got robbed.

[OAS1S]

so many different ways to look at this. knicks weren't really spectacular with the lineup they had -- the most generous thing you could say was they were promising.

if the knicks didn't push for the trade and it somehow didn't happen, would melo have waited to hit free agency and potentially lose tens of million dollars under the new CBA?

how much of this deal has isiah's fingerprints all over it?

[conqueror]

doesn't NJ have the youngest team in the league? i thought i heard kerr say in a recent game that their average player is 20yrs old.

[FrugalPlayer]

knicks got robbed.

robbed of what exactly? it's clearly all about next year for the Knicks. They'll get D Williams or CP3 for sure. I don't wanna hear anyone's speech about cap space.....they'll make it happen somehow. And since when did any D'Antoni team play any defense? they weren't going anywhere in the playoffs this year with Felton and Chandler so who cares that they gave them up.

this screams isiah\dolan undermining walsh move

[jackers]

now for the cp3 drama to happen. knicks made a great move by keeping fields

battier to celtics?!?!?!

[chantheman]
