The Kings are staying in Sacramento, at least for now. The Maloof did not request relocation today. The family had made the decision to move the team weeks ago, but they were never able to convince the other team owners.
The Maloof family said “We appreciate everything the Samuelis, Anaheim Arena Management and the City of Anaheim did for us, but we decided to give Sacramento one more opportunity.” “Kevin Johnson, Sacramento mayor, has made a lot of promises and we’re going to hold him to his word to see if they can come up with a new arena plan.”. The door remains open to move the team next year according to the Maloofs.

Last night was the Sacramento Kings last game in Sacramento. The Kings lost to the defending champion LA Lakers, which was expected, but they did take it into OT. The final score was 116-108.
The Maloofs again made money off the backs of Kings fans. No one told the sell out crowd that the Kings are moving to Anaheim . Joe and Gavin Maloof did not even bother showing up for the King’s last game. Instead they are in New York trying to ensure no one can stop their move to Anaheim. Anaheim mayor Tom Tait will also be in in New York to help ensure the move takes place. Sacramento mayor Kevin Johnson will be there to try and stop an already made decision.

Will the Sacramento Kings move to a new city? That is the question being asked and there are no real answers. The Sacramento Kings have not done well this year and fans are not as loyal as they once were. There is no new arena and the economy stinks. All of this has created lower ticket sales, but will it be enough to force the Maloofs to move the team?

The Sacramento Kings are officially the worst team in the NBA. It’s not really a title anyone wanted, but the Kings have earned it. The Kings are just 5-21 for the season. I dismal record at best.
The Kings are on a six game losing streak. The 117-109 overtime loss to the Golden State Warriors was a tough one to watch. The Kings were up 84-70 at the start of the fourth quarter. A lead that should have held, but this is the Kings were are talking about.
Tonight the Kings play the Milwaukee Bucks who are 11-16 for the season. The game is at Arco Arena and tip off time is 7pm. Can the Kings beat the Bucks? The Buck beat the Lakers on Tuesday so maybe they are tired. Regardless of the score at the end of the game when you are in last place there is only one direction you can go.
