My Experience with the Maloofs at the BoG

cuz that is kinda strange that he’d be happy to see you. or maybe it was because you weren’t pestering him with questions like the reporters probably were.

also, you referred to yourself as a “lowly sacramento kings fan”. there’s no such thing! : )

thanks for sharing, great work!

Thanks for representing!

You’re a hero for being there! Keep fighting the good fight! Your observations are awesome – these guys are so easy to read, and your interpretations of what you saw are further confirmation of what everyone already thinks of them.

Curious did you happen to have on a green jacket with a yellow and black backpack on? If so pretty sure you made it on the video from News 10.

Way to read them and I agree they are all insincere, just as fake as their sisters tits!

I’m glad we had a Kings fan on hand to see the look on their smug, greasy faces.

I know we’ve thanked you already but Here We Stay really appreciates your efforts. Thanks for helping us fight in NY.

It does not suprise me the Gavin was “friendly” the Maloofs are in the service industry and that is what they know; I am not saying they are great at it, but they understand lip service; whether it is sincer or not.

Many people that have earned extreme wealth have a bit of “prick” in them. The reality is that you generally have to be a bit of a prick and run some people over to have extreme success; and while most of them lose the attitude when they achieve the highest levels of success and it only comes out when cornered like the Maloofs were. Since the Maloofs have not really “EARNED” their success they dont have the extreme prick attitude and still have an overwhelming desire to be liked, IMHO that is whythey have hidden from the media and not “dealt” with the resons why they need to move in a succint and clear fashion.

Thanks for representing us up there! Now it is up to KJ to make a plan!

He acknowledged me, shook my hand, and thanked me for coming out. I wished him “good luck” and encouraged him to “do the right thing”.

This reminded me of something I heard on KHTK…about the Maloofs not being robots and that they didn’t show up for the final home game, not even for few minutes, before heading to New York could be perhaps in small part because to see what took place that final game could emotionally sway the emotional Maloofs in what they want to be a strict business decision…

I hope his acknowledgment of you was sincere and I’m holding out hope they do the right thing as you said, I’m not holding my breathe that they sincerely give a damn about any of us but I’m optimistic like most of us that KJ and our local business leaders will be able to prove what we all already know, that Sacramento is more than worth it!

Oh and big props for being out there, that is awesome

Interesting observations and insights. Well done. Thanks for sharing.

You are a noble soldier for the cause.

Yesterday on the drive home I was talking with my cousin. He and I talk basketball on a regular basis. He follows the Kings, but wouldn’t consider himself a fan. Throughout much of this fiasco, he’s been my unbiased sounding board. During our conversation yesterday, he made a great point.

He said, “What this Anaheim deal has done is to show that the Maloofs do not want to run an arena on their own. They want to own the team, but let somebody else worry about the arena. Otherwise, they’d never have conceded on parking and concessions like they’d have to in Anaheim.”

And I believe he is absolutely correct. So now I have a new hope. I don’t expect the Maloofs to sell, but perhaps a group of private financing (Burkle, Webber, etc) can find a way to build an arena and create a lease agreement with the Kings. It may not seem like much, but that is what I’m hoping for. My only concern is that I’m not sure if Burkle has any interest in owning an arena rather than owning a team.
