point in history. HE WASN'T THE ONE WHO FUCKED UP. You know the Maloofs L.I.E.D about the things they put forth in that f*cked up conference and they've been playing games SINCE THEY BOUGHT THAT TEAM! Remember the attempt they made when they went behind the public's back in to make a backroom deal during the time when we were voting on those two bonds a few years ago? You know the one's that were voted down? Believe it was in 2006


Have you seen what they were trying to get? They didn't want to advance ANY expenses, they wanted to get the lease cut from 30 years to 15 years; the wanted rent paid on the new stadium to be DIRT CHEAP..They are straight up liars and you know as well as I do that when it comes down to it, they're BROKE.

Funny how they were saying the NBA required them to get the new stadium and suddenly they are amenable to renovating Arco...REALLY? when the commissioner was flat out asked about they're statement that the NBA required it, HE said that he didn't care.

Now, they're calling season ticket holders, BEGGING them to continue to support them because they've realised they shot themselves in the foot with a cannon and KJ IS THE ONE WHO MESSED UP? REALLY? Yeah right. Frankly, I hate the Maloofs and it finally dawned on them that they chewed off the hand that fed them and are trying to backtrack and clean up the mess THEY made....As far as I'm concerned, they can go to hell. The people who spoke on their behalf, the lawyers and economist were hired by the and of course wouldsay what they wanted them to say. That Economist isn't well thought of either.
