Supersonics 2.0 : Sacramento Kings moving to Seattle?

Maloof. Maloof. Maloof is on fire! (sorry)
Chris Hansen is buying the Sacramento Kings and moving them to Seattle in time to start playing at The Key next season, according to the wild rumor mill known as Yahoo! Sports.

The rumor originated in a Tweet from Daina Falk, a food blogger known as “The Hungry Fan’’ and also the daughter of longtime NBA agent David Falk, whose clients included Michael Jordan and a number of former  Sonics, including longtime team president Wally Walker. 
Daina Falk sent out a Tweet Tuesday reading: “So I hear that the Seattle Kings is officially a done deal! The Maloofs (the family  that owns the Kings) finally sold the ailing Sacramento team.’’ 
When questioned about the Tweet, she responded that she had heard it from someone who would know, and she also referred to the Tweet on her Facebook page saying to wait and see what happens over the next few days. 
Those Tweets and her Facebook message were all deleted by Wednesday morning.
(from The Seattle Times)


That's right. The source of the rumor is a food blogger. Because that's how desperate we are. Sigh . . . 

The big question, of course, is how cool are we about taking another city's team, especially one with as much history and support as the Kings? Is this completely different than the OKC debacle because we're being upfront about it? Or are we all just hopeless cogs in Stern's machiavellian machine? Let the hand-wringing commence!
