Sacramento Kings Could Move To Seattle от Veggie за 11 jan 2013 (10 photo)

Chris Hansen has his eye on the Sacramento Kings! One person says that the Kings could sell for more than $500 million. So far, the Kings have been uncertain about the move, especially since the Maloofs and the city haven't been able to up with a long-term arena solution. Hansen recently reached an agreement with local governments in Seattle last October on plans to build a $490 million arena near the city's other stadiums: CenturyLink Field and Safeco Field. As a part of the agreement, no construction will begin until all envirnomental reviews are completed and a team has been secured. 

I don't know Hansen, the Kings might be a hard sell, especially since California really loves it's NBA teams. Let's see what happens though. 

Even players and coaches admitted all the attention made it difficult to focus on the game.
