Seattle Group buys the Sacramento Kings for $500 Million

Posted on January 9, 2013 by McClarron •

The news that almost everyone in Seattle has been waiting to hear since the original Sonics were shipped off to Oklahoma a few years back. Seattle is getting a new NBA team! Yahoo’s Adrian Wajnarowski got word from sources just a bit ago…

From Yahoo
“The deal will sell the Kings for approximately $500 million to a group led by hedge-fund manager Chris Hansen and Microsoft chairman Steve Ballmer. The group is seeking to relocate the franchise to Seattle’s Key Arena for the 2013-14 season.

The Seattle group’s plans, with support of the NBA, is to play two seasons in Key Arena before moving into a new Seattle arena, sources said.
No agreement has been signed, but one source with knowledge of the talks described the deal as “first and goal at the 1.”

The Chris Hansen led group from Seattle wants to bring the team back immediately after this season ends, with the team playing in the old Key Arena as the new stadium is being constructed in Seattle’s Sodo district, home of the Seattle Seahawks and Seattle Mariners. Tacoma, WA native and UW Alumni, Isaiah Thomas and Seattle native Aaron Brooks both play for the Kings currently.

Time to celebrate, Seattle.

Chris Hansen and City of Seattle reach Deal on Financing New Arena

Posted on September 10, 2012 by Scream •

“SEATTLE – Multiple Sources confirmed Monday that a deal has been reached between the Seattle City Council and the investor group led by Chris Hansen on the financial terms that would put a new sports arena near Safeco Field.”

“A key, multi-million dollar concession by Hansen that could see his investor group spend more out of pocket to build the arena appears to have brought reluctant councilmembers onboard with the project. City Council members are expected to make an official announcement outlining the terms of the agreement on Tuesday.”

Chris Hansen buys land for new Arena in Seattle

Posted on September 3, 2012 by Scream •

Chris Hansen just took another big risk and ended up finally buying the land for a new arena so that we can have the Sonics back. He purchased a building south of Safeco field for $8 million giving him a total of $49 million worth of land. The risk in this is because Hansen and the city still have a lot of things to figure out with a new arena costing around $490 million to construct. Hopefully the city and Hansen can get together to figure something out because needless to say we really need a basketball team again. Click HERE for more info.

Posted on May 21, 2012 by Scream •

There’s been a lot of drama surrounding the Oklahoma City Thunder today, especially with those shirts that someone made over there thanking Seattle for giving them the team. That’s not really important to the players though, they’re all about the playoffs as their fans should be too. The Thunder came back to Oklahoma today ahead of the Lakers in the series 3-1. After a very impressive demolishing of the Lake Show in the 4th quarter, they ended up winning the game (106-90) and advancing to the Western Conference Finals. Top performer for the Lakers was non other than Kobe Bryant with 42 points and for the Thunder it was Kevin Durant with 25 points, 10 rebounds, and 4 steals. Russell Westbrook also had a great performance with 28 points and James Harden added 17 to give the OKC “Big Three” a combined 70 points. Up next the Thunder take on the Spurs.
