Anaheim Kings?
There is growing concern in the Kings organization that if their arena issue isn't resolved, they could end up leaving Sacramento for Anaheim, according to a league executive.
Anaheim, which has successfully hosted Lakers exhibition games and Clippers regular-season tilts, has wanted a team of their own for quite some time.
The Lakers and Clippers, however, could challenge the league for territorial rights fees, with Anaheim being one of their major supporting markets.

$ome minor detail$
The $taples Center and the Honda Center are 30 mile$ apart. The King$ would mo$t likely have to pay the Laker$ and the Clipper$ for infringing on their territorial right$.
Furthermore, there i$ a $300 million relocation fee due to the NBA when a move like thi$ take$ place.
Then there i$ the matter of the $70-$80 million loan that the King$ have with the City of $acramento.
It ju$t doe$n’t add up that the King$ would be moving to Anaheim any time in the near future. It ju$t doe$n’t make financial $en$e.

It also smacks of a Boston reporter
Filling in news because he had the opportunity. The actual news of that was old; the problem was simple. The more interesting note was that the Pacers had lost 200 Million since 1983 (like I care), and how that meant they were likely to be moving sometime soon. Personally, I don’t think the Pacers are moving. That’s just me though.
No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....

From what I read...
the relocation fee Memphis paid, and OKC is rumored to have paid, was ~$60 million. Even at that number, with the other costs you point out, it doesn’t add up.
