Report: Sacramento Kings sold; Seattle bound

According to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports, the Maloof brothers are finalizing an agreement to sell the Sacramento Kings to the Hansen-Ballmer led Seattle group for aproximately $500 million.

The reported deal would have the Kings playing in Seattle at the Key Arena by the 2013-14 season. They would move into a new Seattle arena by 2015-16.

The agreement is not official yet. All sales and relocations have to be approved by the NBA and their Board of Governors. Late changes of plans have become a common theme with the Kings, as they’ve very nearly moved to Anaheim and Virginia Beach in recent years.

If the deal is completed, the Maloof brothers are expected to be minority owners still.

Business is business, but it seems they made shit and gave up. I hate mthfuckers. Though every romantic period tends to be over. Bye, Sacramento, but you will always be in my heart.
