Things are looking good for Seattle owners to set up a new arena. The big question is whether they can find the NBA team to become tenants in their new building.

The NBA seems to be trying to keep the Kings from leaving Sacramento, but the longer no new arena gets built, the tougher that task becomes, and the more promising Seattle looks in trying to acquire them.
