As a Kings fan, I hope you guys get a team. Just not our team. The Kings is not California's 4th team. It is Sacramento's ONLY team. We don't get to drive 15 minutes to watch the Mariners or Seahawks. If there are no plans for an expansion, move the damn Clippers. Before Lob City was formed, the only true fans were Clipper Darrell and Billy Crystal. LA will always be Laker city.

because of this i pray every season OKC doesnt win the championship

[pandasweater]

David Stern is such an ass.

You owe me $10.

Funny how the Sonics used that bigfoot character as their mascot. Both are merely urban myths, they don't ACTUALLY exist. By the way, $10 bucks says Sacramento will have NHL hockey before Seattle has an arena.

Also, it's "their", please learn proper grammar/spelling before you try to make a point.

[Lauren Myers]

That is exactly what I said in my comment to which you responded and called me a "f*cking retard".

[Lauren Myers]

If that is the only thing you have to respond to my comment, I am not even going to bother trying to explain anything to you. By reading your responses to the others, it would clearly be a waste of time.

[Lauren Myers]

It's "you're", but clearly WE are the dumb hillbillies.
