NBA Commissioner David Stern: Allow a Sacramento buyer to match any offer on the Sacramento Kings and give Seattle an expansion team.
NBA Commissioner David Stern: Allow a Sacramento buyer to match any offer on the Sacramento Kings and give Seattle an expansion team.
Basketball fans should not have to choose between Sacramento and Seattle. Both of these cities have proven their worth in the best of times and in the worst of times. It is time for David Stern and the NBA owners to right one wrong and prevent another. If the team is available for purchase, it is time for a Sacramento buyer to be granted an opportunity to match any offer the Maloofs extend to potential buyers. It is time for Seattle to be granted a new expansion team for the 2015-16 season. Seattle deserves a team after what happened to their Sonics. Sacramento deserves to keep the Kings in Sacramento after supporting the franchise for more than a quarter century and putting together a viable arena financing plan last year. Sacramento has one of the most passionate fan bases in NBA history, which is illustrated in the above documentary, Small Market, Big Heart. #HereWebuy #HereWeStayNBA #LetUsMatch
