In fact my Grandma probably farmed where your house is right now in natomas. When I was a kid there wasn't another house within a mile. Ride my horse out to where the Airport is now and down to the river. John Cameron's property (Of Cameron park)
I am curious if you have read the interview with the Maloofs in the Bee yesterday? I twas very informative and they do have a paper trail supporting their position.
As for people not trusting the Maloofs, well who does? The press, especially the TV have made it out to be the Maloofs and have been very critical so I don't expect anyone in Sac to support them. I don't either.
But
There are two villains to this story. KJ grandstanded everything and it blew up in his face. And that means that a deal will not be done. We cannot replace the Maloofs, but KJ we can replace.
And the fortunes of the Kings? Well Adelman didn't want to stay he saw the writing on the wall once CW went down. So let's not blame that on them. They would suck even if Phil jackson was the coach....because they no longer had, nor could they acquire, superstar players. People, especially NBA players, don't want to go to Sacramento PERIOD. Only Vlade Divac could convince anyone that Sac was a good town to play in. Webber, when he came, pouted until Vlade convinced him it was going to be okay. I know this, the KINGS were my customers for a long time.
See and that is how I can tell you are so anti maloof, that it is clouding your thoughts here. There are a ton of mitigating factors in play here. The same factors that have destroyed a lot of people's lives rich or not. the Vegas thing? Well that is vegas for ya. Almost every property there is in trouble. Theris is an indy property so there is no big conglomeration to share the losses or hide the losses.
