Sacramento kings are here to stay mix

2011--2012: Final Year in Sacramento?
More information on the possible Kings move to Anaheim: 2011--12 Sacramento Kings season
On February 19, 2011, NBA commissioner David Stern admitted that the Kings and officials in Anaheim had discussions about a team relocation. It was later found that the organization went as far as to file for a name change to the "Anaheim Royals", among others. The Maloofs prepared to make their case for relocation in an NBA Board meeting in New York, in what many expected to simply be a formality.
In a surprise announcement, Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson announced during a presentation to the NBA that Ron Burkle, a billionaire associate of former United States President Bill Clinton and Democratic Party fundraiser, wanted to buy the Kings and keep them in Sacramento. Johnson also pledged some $10 million from local businesses as a show of support from Sacramento. This, along with the overwhelming show of support from the fans, may have swayed Stern and the relocation committee to tell the Maloofs to withdraw their relocation plans.
The Maloof family as well as the NBA have stated that the Kings will stay in Sacramento for the 2011-12 NBA season. Similar to a situation with the Seattle SuperSonics, both parties have stated that the franchise will relocate to Anaheim, California or elsewhere for the 2012-13 NBA season unless the city of Sacramento can provide a long term solution concerning a new arena. Currently the city has plans for an arena and are awaiting a 100-day analysis of funding options for the arena

Is it me or does defending Rookie of the Year and "Mr. 20, 5, and 5", Tyreke Evans get somewhat overlooked? When people mention the best young guards in the league, his name will get mentioned, but it's not until after a handful of names are rattled off already. Perhaps it's because he plays for the Kings who were 25 -- 57 last season and so far this year they're 6 -- 23. But Tyreke is having a solid sophomore campaign, averaging 17, 5 and 5.
The other night, the Kings hosted the Memphis Grizzlies and Tyreke hit a shot that should help get him the love he deserves. It definitely should have been in our Top 10 plays of the week but missed the deadline by one day for the video edit. Check out this game winning half-court buzzer beater by Tyreke. Please join me in giving this man his due, and let us know if you think this is the play of the year:
