Anaheim's Honda Center is 30 miles from L.A.'s Staples Center. For those that live in L.A. (a very spread out city) 30 miles is nothing. 3 teams in the L.A. area is ridiculous and if the MaGoof's are trying to make money off this, they are idiots to go compete with 2 already established teams including one that has been competing for the championship every year.

They're capitalizing on the TV deal that's in place for them, which is 4x greater than the one they have right now in Sacramento. Plus, they hate the Lakers so when the day comes that the Kings are relevant again the feud between the two teams will have a buzz like it once did.
The downside to that is SoCal is Laker Country. So when the Kings' good players are up for FA they can bolt to the Lakers and not have to move...forever suppressing their franchise. And the same can happen with Blake and Eric Gordon...

I say just take the 12 best people from Sacramento and the Warriors and make the Bay Area Grizzlies.

Just a FYI, the Maloofs aren't losing money in Sacramento. They really want a new arena and more money. It is what it is.

This is pretty much a done deal, the Maloofs are just going through the motions so they're in compliance with the league and the city of Sacramento. They are making weekly visits to the Honda Center. They have already picked out their suite, which will be renovated for them. It's just a question of will they be known as the Los Angeles Royals or the Anaheim Royals.

Say what you will about Bron but is contraction that bad of an idea?
Clippers should disolve into the Lakers, Kings merge with GS and call them the Royals. and that would be just the beginning around the L.

Those 30 miles are equivalent to 2 hours in traffic during rush hour, believe me, it's not that simple.
Orange County can support it's own franchise, and some OC residents will tell you, they don't consider themselves part of LA.
Angels and Ducks are greatly supported, otherwise, why would the Maloof's consider relocating there?

NJ has never really been a basketball state imo. I mean you can go to a couple hoods, hs, and a college or two and find those with a passion for the game but the ppl overall nah. Throughout their whole history it's just been another place to play, NY's bastard lil brother. Their best attendance was probably when they had a superstar on their team decades ago or before the NBA was formed.
I haven't heard about the uproar of upset Nets fans mad the team is moving (on here or when I go to NJ) or maybe cuz it's moving to BK they've already got over it since it's not far away. I can understand Seattle's gripe and Sac fans since I remember how live their arena use to be but the NJ Nets? Nah.

I think the best choice for them would have been to go down to San Jose. Everyone here is a Warrior/Laker fan, but SJ is a nice city and South Bay is the most populated part of the Bay Area. You would always have people showing up to games since you'd have Kings fans showing up as well as casual basketball fans who don't want to drive through 1 hour of traffic to watch a Warriors game. The Bay Area doesn't have traffic problems for most of the day, but between 5-8 @#$% is terrible on the 101/880/680

I'd imagine because there is already a sports franchise in Los Angeles named the Kings.
