    I hope they fail and you're forced to pretend to root for the Sonics.

    I don't know much of anything about clutchfans history, but did Carl show any signs of... whatever doldrums he's in before the trade? Or did he just wake up one day and think, "screw the LOFs, I'm going to be the most prolific and bewildering homer of a Rockets player in history"?

    It is rather bewildering. It's like he is on drugs or has personal connections to the players sent out. I've never seen anyone flip like Carl has. He used to be fun now every post makes me go :rolleyes:.

    Bull****.

    Either way I won't support a city losing their team ever. The Rockets were almost one of those teams to leave.

    I hope the Clippers move to Seattle so we can rekindle the hate.

    I hope a Houston-based group purchases the Kings and bring them to Houston. That way PPat and Carl can be reunited.

    See what Patrick Patterson brought them?

    Rockets draft Patterson and get jumbo screen for the Toyota Center. Kings trade for Patrick Patterson and ink arena deal.

    Pat is popular with Indians. They like his mustache.

    board of governors aren't going to rule in favour of Sacramento, vote will be almost unanimous.

    Sacramento has no other professional sports franchises. Seattle still has the seahawks and mariners.

    If Sacramento can bring a competitive offer to the table, I don't see the Kings moving. In all honesty there would be no reason for them to move. They now have an arena deal pretty much done, if they come up with the 350 million I don't see the owners voting against Sac Town.

    I feel bad for Sacramento and Seattle, both have pretty good basketball fanbase yet one already lost their team and the other is on the verge of losing theirs. This isn't about the fans and how dedicated they are to their teams, this is about money and which deal the NBA will profit the most.

    The optimal situation, IMO, is simply have the Kings stay and a team with no fanbase go to Seattle. Say, the Bobcats, as the fans there are more college basketball fans than NBA fans anyway.
