With talks between the city of Sacramento and Sacramento Kings ownership seeming to deteriorate by the day, the Maloof brothers held a press conference in New York on Friday morning discussing their concerns with the deal and trying to come up with possible solutions.
One idea had by the Maloofs was for a renovation of the Kings already standing stadium, Power Band Pavilion, instead of building a brand new stadium in downtown Sacramento. Where does this leave Seattle in attaining a NBA team? Well, it doesn't really change much at the moment unless a large shift in negotiations are made.
To my friends in Seattle, unless something has changed, the endgame for the Kings if they leave Sacramento is Anaheim.

Unfortunately there seems to be only one place the Kings could really move to, and that is Southern California. Despite all logic saying moving to Anaheim isn't a great move, putting three NBA teams in essentially one market, Seattle will likely have to look elsewhere if they want to land an NBA team.
